might be your alternator draining out the battery, try jump starting it and unplugging the battery. see if the car still runs or does it slowly die out.

need to check for a current drain while ignition is off, and check condition of cable terminals to make sure corrosion isn't causing high resistance.

dies out means alternator is dying. stays running means your alt is still good
