no start condition alternator

Friend's '99 9-3 won't start of late. She was able to start the car by jumping it but it wouldn't start afterwards. I figure either alternator isn't charging or else battery is dead. I'm guessing that the primary diagnostic between the two options is what the dashboard ECU reads for voltage: if a constant 12-14v then battery isn't accepting charge, if slowly decreasing voltage (below 11v) then the alternator isn't charging.
Does the 9-3 require a new alternator in cases like this or is it a simple small part, like the voltage regulator in the c900?
Alternator replacement is easy/hard on the 9-3? Compare difficulty to that experienced on c900 or 9000 for my reference. (I'm guessing that any alternator replacement must be easier than it is on the 9000.)
As the car was jumpable I'm guessing failed DI casette is not causal.
thanks!
