Alternator or Battery? which is it?
 

My battery finally died tonight. So I got it jumped and drove to
autozone. I replaced my battery easily by my self. They were 5 min from
closing so I just made it. My question is .How do I know that its JUST
my battery and not my alternator? Also how long do Honda alternators
last? My battery was at least 5 years old, maybe more? My Mom used to
own the car she said she couldnt remember exact date she bought the
battery. Is there a way to TEST the alternator to see if its still good,
without removing it from car?
