I had a problem starting my car a few weeks ago. I was parked in a parking lot, tried to start it and it wouldn't start. It sounded like it was hella struggling to start, so I stopped then tried again. My battery started smoking, so I went and bought a new one, then installed it. Well, today it did the same thing. It eventually started, but I know it's not supposed to "struggle" to start. Could it be my alternator? ![[Confused]](confused.gif)

Smoke coming from the battery or wires during cranking usually indicates an excessive current draw due to high resistance. That high resistance can come from a poor ground, poor connections at the battery or starter, a bad starter motor, deteriorated battery cables, etc.

So the best thing would be to have kragen check it out and see what they say?
