Is there any parts stores local to you? They will check both the bat/alt free. You can check if you have a meter to see if juice is being supplied back to the battery.
One piece of advice. In cold weather and short days, make certain the alt belt is tight. If too loose, over a period of time with heater, defrosters, lights on longer, the battery will run down if the belt slips around the alt pulley. The pulley just won't turn as fast as it should.
Once you have them tested, you will know what to look for, or at least were to look.
Could even have a drain on the battery when ignition off.
