Having to jump start ‘14 Honda Accord every time it sits for maybe 2+hrs. Battery checks as good but alternator passed once but failed three times. Drove it from Charlotte to Panama City and back with no problems while driving. Just can’t sit for hours without a quick jump ---

Just how many times does your alternator have to fail before you replace it? ---

Agree . . . dump that alternator for a new/remanned part And while you’re at it, replace the battery if it’s the original from 2014
