Reply to comment by tossaside555 in LPT: After every mechanic visit, drive your vehicle around for 10 to 15 minutes extra before going back home. by TheMasterBaker01

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.
