Start the car, undo the battery cable. If it stops running then there is something wrong with the alternator as well. It might just need a new belt, tightening etc, or might need replacing.
Really? How come?

I thought that anytime you disconnected the battery the car would stop running also...doesn't it complete the circuit?

(Maybe I should stick to the other threads!)
