Acura Integra Battery Problem

Yes i was driving down the street and all of sudden my dome lights and all the lights inside the car just went dim and some turned off, the headlights got dim also. It kept driving because i still had it in gear, then when i came to a complete stop everything just died and the car didn't even start and all the lights where dim. What can be the problem? Thanks!

I would first look at the condition of the battery but I suspect the underlying problem is your alternator. Charge up the battery and get the vehicle started. Then with it running put a volt meter on the battery and read the voltage. Anything less than 14 volts is an indication that the alt needs to be repaired.
