Have the battery load tested. You may have been sold an alternator when what you needed was a battery.

One option is a bad ground connection. Check both ends of the battery cables for a clean connection.

If it's not the battery then the battery cables are a know issue.




The ground cable (item 7) has been reported to break at the connections circled in red.
