Mercury Sable Battery Problem

My car would not start so replaced battery, then battery light came on and car died while driving it. Changed alternator. Battery light still on. Did diagnostic check on new (reman) alternator and it tested good. Any ideas?

Did you get the battery recharged? Use a digital multimeter check charging system. Could be a wiring issue from alternator to battery or to the alternator?
