Ok, im not sure if this is even in the right lobby cus its not audio related but it's closest thing to it.

My question is somewhat newbish but here it is: What should be connected to the negative terminal on my battery. I mean, i know something should be connected back to it, but when i bought this car theres just no negative wires running back to the battery, the terminal is empty. Am i right in saying that its really nothing more than a ground and anything that runs off the battery being grounded instead of runnin back to the battery gives the same results? I ask because it seems like my battery is not staying charged and i need to be recharging it once a week or i cant start. Does the negative have to be connected from the alternator or whatever for the battery to recharge itself?

If there is a better forum for me to be asking this please tell me. But i'll appreciate any answers, thankyou.

 

well, usually the battery is connected to a ground somewhere on the car. Just run some cable to the factory ground. If the battery does hold the charge, take it to get tested to see if it'll hold a charge. if it does, then it might be your alternator
