battery keeps going dead, but no battery light
1992 Accord Ex.
My battery was not holding a charge so I bought a brand new one. Drove the car for about 30 miles and then the battery died while I was driving, but no battery light.
Do I need a new alternator, or is there a wiring issue with the alternator?

Could be the alternator. Not to be silly or rude, but are you leaving a dome or headlights on perchance, or some other electronic item?

The car will die while I am driving it....not overnight.

Make sure that no metal of battery terminal is touching under the hood. That happend to me when my one if my terminal screws were a little too high and touched under the my hood. It killed my battery and alternator.
