95% probability it is the battery. Good way to rule out the alternator is to check your belt/pulley tightness and if the belt is in good condition. Look at the alternator for any discolouration on the contact points on the back wiring, smell the housing to see if there is a strong metallic "burnt" smell, or black residue on the housing.
