sounds like you need a new alternator, i just put a new one in over the weekend, disconect the battery, remove fan and serpentine belt, then the alternator is two bolts, it also has one ground nut and a connector in the back, it is pretty straight foward, just wear gloves because it might be a greasy mess

Never disconnect the battery with the car running. Put a DC volt meter on the battery and get a volt reading, should be between 13.6- 14.6 with a good fully charged battery.
