It takes 3 to as much as 7 minutes for the generator to fully make up the power lost in starting the engine, depending one engine speed during that time (the full 110A generator output does not happen until 2000 engine rpm) so it could be that after a time the battery would discharge.

Then again it could just be that you got a bad battery, that happens. Did they test the generator at AZ?

All they did was test the battery. I was never able to get the car started, so I just took in the old battery and they swapped me for a new one.
