Just as the title says. I bought and tested a new battery and alternator and the car still won’t charge. The battery’s maintain 12v after charged but as soon as I turn on the car the volts drop to 11 and keep dropping till the car eventually dies. Again the alternator DOES work and the I did a parasitic drain test and nothing seems to be draining the battery. What else can it be?
