I used 12v dc from a 13 plate car battery to power a 12v dianamo dc motor and brought in an alternator to change the battery using the rotation of the dc motor.on the same battery I contacted my power inverter to generate 220v ac for my lighting system, thinking I have the alternator connected to the battery so the battery source will never deplete.but it kept draining.please what do I do to make the battery maintain it powerful while using
 
You are trying to outwit science and create a perpetual motion machine.

It won't work. If it did work then we would all be doing it :)
 
If that had any chance of working why would you even need the battery, just connect the motor to the alternator and away you go.
The battery is there to powér the inverter àñd the motor wíthóut the battery the DC mótor ís not going to rótate for me to get the rótàtion óf the alternator for ít to çhàrge the battery
 
What you're trying to do here is break the first and second laws of thermodynamics which, of course, is impossible. There are always losses in a system and you simply cannot overcome them.
