What is causing my battery to die

Hey Eric, this is Bo, an auto expert on RepairPal's Car Genius team! If your S10 has a brand-new battery that's dying, a few things could be the culprit. First, ensure your alternator is working correctly. It's responsible for charging the battery while you drive, so if it’s faulty, it might not get charged. Another common issue is a parasitic drain, where something in the truck pulls power even when it's off. This could be a light left on, like in the glove box, or an accessory plugged in. Corroded or loose battery terminals can also prevent proper charging. Check for good, clean connections. If everything looks good but the problem persists, have a mechanic test the electrical system to find the drain or charging issue. Let me know if this helps!
