Is there a link between battery issues and alternator failure in Changan Kalam in Pakistan?

Many owners replace the battery without checking alternator output. Could a faulty alternator be the root cause of recurring battery drainage?

Yes, they are closely linked:

A weak alternator won’t charge the battery fully, causing early battery death.

Conversely, a failing battery may draw excessive current, stressing the alternator.

Many owners replace the battery without checking alternator health — a bad practice.

Always test both the battery and alternator together using a multimeter o r diagnostic scanner.
