Once your car is running, typically, your alternator is charging your battery enough to keep it fully powered.

Unless you have a bad battery.

Then the car will shut off - even with a good alternator.

Correct. A bunch of us keep saying that OP has a battery issue. This LPT is stated as if this is something everyone should be doing. Its 100% unnecessary unless you have a bad battery. In which case, LPT: get a new battery.
