The battery needs to be replaced or the alternator is bad. I would try to replace the battery in your car first to see if that fixes the problem. If our car is still not starting up or if the battery keeps on needing to be recharge then the alternator is bad and should be replaced.
Have the battery charged and tested and then test the charging system. You should never run a car with a very dead battery. that will burn out the alternator.
I would recommend getting a new battery and testing the battery with a multimeter. as for the speedo it may be a stuck needle or a kinked line/ dirty connection. the speedo usually connects to the side of the transmission
if you have a multi meter disconnect positve battery terminal and put red wire to battery and black to battery cable put multi meter on resistance should be 0.005 or less if more then check for things that may be plugged in to cig lighter etc turn door lights off etc dont turn key on any more than 0.005 will drain battery
clean the cables, if still not working, every time you finished using the car disconnected the negative cable from the battery. and then connected it back when about to use it again.
