    Jump start every time? Alternator?

    Hey guys I'm currently on my way back from Ocean city headed to buffalo. This morning before heading out, my battery died. Weird, since I was driving around a lot. Then on one of first stops I had to get jump started again. And again after that. We're to the point of not turning the car off now till we're back. The battery is less than a week old so one suggestion we've heard is that the alternator is dying, but just good enough to keep the car moving. Any help would be awesome! Thanks!

    do you have a voltmeter?

    is the alternator pully not tensioned properly? I'd check that stuff first before looking into an alternator or putting in new brushes.
