Ok so the problem with my blazer is the battery light was on for a while, thought nothing of it till the weekend but when I was on my way to work it started losing a lot of power, everything turned off lights, dash board, everything in the vehicle, by the time I got to work the Blazer would barely drive, made a "chugging" sound and after I shut it off it wouldn't start again. I got it towed home and later on that night when I checked it all the lights and stuff would come on but it wouldn't turn over not even a little bit, I'm wondering what this could possibly be, I am thinking alternator but I am just wondering if there is a more definate way to tell, because I thought it would be able to start off the battery at least for a minute if it was the alternator, but I can't even get a tiny little bit of a crank
Please Help
thank you

Start by getting the battery and alternator load tested and then report back for more

I took the alternator and the battery off and took them in to get load tested, ends up it was just the battery. I have never seen things die like that on a vehicle when the battery went, only the alternator but thats why I came to you guys, thank you very much.

So I replaced the battery in the blazer and it started right up, it drove for two days and then when I woke up this morning I went out to start it and it wouldn't start again, I checked everything over to make sure nothing was left on over night which it wasn't. and now I am trying to boost the vehicle and can't get it to boost. I'm wondering what else this could possibly be ?
