If the belt is slipping, it will produce less charge to the battery. You need to tension up the belt and separately charge the battery on a battery charger. Then, with a voltometer, test the voltage at the terminals on the battery when you have started the car with the newly charged battery. The voltage you read should be around 13.8 volts (this is sufficient to charge the battery going forward) If not , replace or rebuild the alternator.
