The vehicle is a 1998 GMC Safari Van. The battery died the other day and the shop told me that they have to replace both the battery & alternator. Reason - A "cheap" battery, past warranty, shorted out the alternator.
I am wondering if this is possible. I've had an alternator go out on me before, but this is the first time the cause was a "bad" battery. Any help on this will be appreciated.
