Sorry to hear about your alternator. Yes the DIC is a common cause but i had my serpentine belt snap on me while driving, same symptoms as you had.. all without warning. this caused the alternator to stop working and my car died on me.. but luckily i turned all the electricals off and managed to drive a mile to the nearest gas station.
Was the belt broken when you took it in? if so they may have replaced the alternator for no reason..but if its warrantied that all the better for you actually :)
My Saab is for sale now and the battery wont hold a charge if the car isnt driven every other day. Its the original battery so i think the alternator is still fine, just the battery is dying... since if i keep driving the car keeps running.
