Icon6 95 Accord dies NEED HELP!!

Hi honda tech,

I have a 95 accord and one morning i went to start to car and it cranked but then it died. So I went to autozone and simply changed the battery thinking that was it. I was wrong...the car turned on fine and drove fine with the new battery until it evenually died to. So I went back to autozone and replaced the battery with a stronger one and the same problem occurred. I was thinking it might be my alternator, but some mechanic told me it would be my dizzy. Why would my dizzy drain my battery out though? Can someone help me please!

Alternator. You were more than likely correct.
If you're proficient in using a multimeter
Set it to 12-20volts DC
Red lead to the positive battery terminal
Black to the negative battery terminal

With the engine running, you should see 13.8 to 14.2 volts with lights and a/c on.

Find another mechanic.
