Default little help: Starter or battery problems?

after about 6 months of ownership and $3300 in repairs later this is getting a little crazy. My headlamps and all the gauges illuminate but everything dies out when trying to start. this is after trickle charging the battery for the better part of a day. however, the car starts right up when i throw on my booster pack. i had the battery replaced in August so i'm not looking forward to throwing down another $120 on a battery that will more than likely fail me again.

anyone else have this problem?

Default Once the car is running... does it stay running? Can you drive it? If so, not the alternator.

Alternator should have nothing to do with starting the car.
