mini battery help

alright i just bought a braille mini battery a month ago. A couple days ago i went to start the car up and it was dead..so i ended up jumping the car and it started right up..after driving the evo for 20 miles i turn the car off and try to start it up and again the battery is dead.

does anyone no why its not charging while im driving the car? and why its dieing so quickly?

thanks

Sounds like your alternator is bad, not the battery

I ran a mini for two years...the second winter if the car wasn't started every 3 days the battery really struggled

I ended up with a red top in the trunk because I couldn't handle the inability of the mini just to save 20 pounds
