What is your question?
I recently had a starter and alternator replacement. My car ran fine for about a day until the battery light came on and now my car will only run for about 10 minutes until it starts dying again. I’ve had the battery tested and was told the battery was fine. I should also mention the A/C was blowing hot and then I heard a click from the vent and the A/C started blowing cold again, but then then my car started dying

Hello, Dave here, contributing to RepairPal and providing expert advice since 2010. You did not mention the original cost of replacing the starter and alternator. What was happening then? It's not normal to replace both components unless you have a good reason. When the battery light comes on, it is a sign that the charging system has failed. You have to figure out why. Is it a concern with the alternator? The wiring connector to the alternator? Is it a problem with wiring? That's pretty much it. The charging system works when it works, and when it doesn't, the light comes on and you have to figure out why. The air conditioning is a separate concern - if it works - I would say wait until it does not.
