Does this sound like a battery or alternator?

Jun 02, 2007 by Leah B | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs

I have a 2006 Nissan Altima and whenever I try to start my car the battery is dead. I can jump it each and every time, but once I shut it off, the batter is dead again. Does this sound like the battery? Alternator?....neither?
Yes, the car stays

Battery.
