So I was driving home from work when I noticed my dash lights and radio flickered. Keep an eye on my volt gauge was charging higher than it has around 14.5v to 15v. Then got home and just about shut the car off and it died. The car will start up again with a jumper pack. I'm figuring the battery is junk because the alternator was charging again when I started it up but when I put a load on it by turning my lights on it just about died. So if anyone has ran into a similar senario and have some valuable information. It would be much appreciated.
