I have a 97 camry as a 2nd car that I don't use very much. I replaced
a dead battery about 2 months ago and now the new battery has gone
dead. I usually run it every 2-3 days until its warm. Could it be
the alternator? Thanks

Besides checking the alternator, also consider getting a battery
charger. Walmart has one for about $17 or so. You should use it to
fully charge up the new battery before putting it in your car.

Relying on the alternator to top off a new (or discharged) battery is
never a good idea especially if you drive so little with that car. It
can take an alternator a few to several hours to charge up a low
battery. And during that time the alternator gets stressed, heats up,
and can fail sooner.
