Charge the battery with a good charger so it has >12.0vdc then start car and measure voltage at the battery it should be 14.0 to 14.7vdc with engine running. If not you need to have the alternator tested or replaced.

Also check the ground strap at the front of the transmission mount, this strap grounds the drive train to the car's body and if it fails it compromises the alternators ground to the battery. The strap is near where the trans shift rod enters the center tunnel right under the rear seat area on the underside of the car.
