voltage?
1. check voltage at battery with a volt-ohm meter w/ engine running. it should be approx. 13.5-14.5v if alternator is charging properly.
2. if belt is tight, it's likely alternator.
3. not a bad idea to check battery terminals and all (+) and (-) connections, including ground strap to chassis at battery.

Parasitic draw somewhere?
had a similar issue and after a diag. we found that the radio was pulling 0.500xx from the battery instead of the usual 0.001xx when the car is turned off ..so the battery was draining after a day or so.
The radio was replaced under warranty, but such a strange issue..
