Default new battery problem

so my old battery had this problem that i would be playin my system its not strong 550 watts total if that i tuned one of the amps down, on my stock battery so when i turn it on it plays for a bit then shuts off, so i drive around chargin it for a bit and it plays only for a bit. Its ok when its daytime cause i dont use the headlights so i guess theres enough battery to use the system, but at night when the lights are on the system wont even play for more then 1 song.

so i bought a new battery a orbital purple haze battery and it was beautiful for like 2-3 weeks i could use everything perfectly fine light, system, wipers, then like after 3 weeks of usage, the same problem occurs =(

WTF? =D
hahahahahha

help

Perhaps the problem is your alternator not charging the system fully.....run by an AutoZone or similar chain and they will slap a tester on it for free.

BTW, the Exide Orbital batteries are my favorite. I have owned several and recommend them highly.

hold crap I can't understand a word you said....

but after reading it a few times it sounds like your alternator is bad. what is the voltage with the car running. it should be around 13+ volts. if it's less then 13 then it's your alternator.

if that's the case and the amp cuts out when the voltage is 12v or higher then I would suspect it's the amp. if the amp cuts out and the voltage is less then 12v then either the alternator is not up to par or you got another bad battery (unlikely but not impossible).
