hello all,
In the past two years, I have changed 4 batteries, since each of them just last about 6 to 8 months and it died. I already checked the following items:

1. glove box light is off when the door is closed.
2. alternator output is about 13.7V
3. the charging current (measured between the alternator lead and the + battery lead when the engine is running) is about 2A @ 2500 rpm.

Does it sound like the alternator is bad?

thanks,

Cheng
