If you can get the car to an autoparts store have the charging system tested or take the alternator off and take to autoparts store for a free test.

If you have a multimeter, start car and measure DC voltage at battery terminals, (engine running) should be 13.5 to 14.5V.
If below 13, then the alternator is bad and would need to be replaced.
