Need tech help fast

Posted in the problems section a few days ago about my ABS light coming on, then having my gauges go dead which would eventually lead to my car losing all power going dead. Had the alternator tested and the test came back that it wasn't putting out enough power, so I replaced it with a brand new one from Napa.

Put in the new one yesterday, and it drove around perfect last night with all my accessories on. I just went out to the store today, and as soon as I had my A/C on, the same problem came back. I parked my car, went and bought some food, came back, and my car wouldn't start. The charge indicator eye on the battery is bright green meaning it's charged but it won't even turn over, it just clicks.

All of these problems came a few weeks after i uninstalled my nitrous kit, but I dont' know how that would have anything to do with it. Please help!~

just cause you have a green indicator on the battery at full green doesnt mean the battery is good. You have 6 cells in the battery. that is only giving you the charge for 1 cell. you still have 5 others. one of them could be fried or fuked up. have the battery checked. sounds like it needs replacing. usually anytime the alternator gets replaced, the battery needs replacing too. But not all the time.
