The catalytic converter and the no start problem are probably not related. Get a deep charge on your battery. If you live in the US AutoZone dose it for free.

I have a 2001 Kia shortage 4wd took battery to auto zone said it was good just put a new alternator on it and drive then battery is completely dead and wont start back up unless I charge my battery it's like my alternator ain't charging my battery what could be my problem thanks in advance
