i didnt say the battery was bad. if he had a bad or loose connection on the battery it would cut off all of a sudden and come back on. GQplaya did say it only happened when he was turning(if the battery wasn't tied down or has a loose connection+weight shift of turn=car cutting off for a second)

btw im sure we all know what an alternator is for
