problem with battery HELP!

hey guys, any help would be appreciated.

Today as i was driving, i noticed my voltage meter on my 84 GSL would go down low, then a few minutes later it would go up to normal. Then it would go down, then up. AFter awhile of driving, the voltage meter went to zero, and my lights wouldnt work. the car still ran, but the battery seemed drained out. I got home, and boosted it, and it started again, but then the voltage went down again. I think my connections are on properly to the battery, so could it be the alternator?

by the way, my battery is brand new, so that cant be the problem.

please help!

actually, i would be thinking that it would be a bad voltage regulator inside of the alternator.
