I have had the system checked at autozone and they say everything is normal but the Battery has to be charged every couple days and I can not figure out the starter is grinding the flywheel which is putting strain on the battery and maybe that's why it has to be charged

yes, the starter motor would do that but it should recover quickly. i think you have a bad alternator. what were the voltage and amp readings they gave you with the print out??

I can't find that little piece of paper now, figures huh? I did find the the ground wire from the battery to the car is all burnt up so that may be the whole problem I hope. I'll change that and let you know what happens. Thanks for you're help.
