Kia Optima Battery Problem

It won't crank over I replaced coils and starter . It still won't turn over like no power getting to the alternator cuz the windows and lights jus fade ... It was running fine then stopped they said I had a cylinder 2 miss fire that was the only engine code check light .. The radio jus rest every time u turn the car on ..

Have you checked the battery to make sure it is good? Are the terminals clean and tight?
