I would park my car, have the key turn one notch(the fan or the ac is not on), listen to my radio, a phone charger plugged in, and after around 15 minutes or so I would see the text flickers on the radio dash and everything died. I would try to start the car but it wouldn't turn over. I bought a portable charger and used this to start the car. Then everything is good again.
Auto zone have tested both the alternator and battery and they're both good. What should I be looking for now?
If you have navigation with the screen on and/or have the radio at a high volume (factory stereo has an amplifier) you can actually kill the battery pretty quickly sitting parked. If you have a subwoofer installed or anything else that draws electricity can cause you to use up the battery even faster.
Turns out it was a failed starter. Started with buzz noises coming from the ignition hole, then intermittent fail start. Replaced the battery but still exhibits the same problem. Had to towed the car to mechanic and replaced the starter and everything is good now.
