could be a bad battery but rather the alternator, check volts at battery when idling, should be 13-14 volts

I bought a battery in April 2019. I had to jump start the vehicle every day when I have to go to work and I went to the dealer I September 2019, who said the battery is not faulty and it has started again. The life span of the battery is two years if not mistaken.
