Car died while driving - NEW battery, now have BATTERY warning!

Hi!
Our 2004 9-5 aero showed signs of a weakening battery over the holidays on a trip up to Canada and colder weather. We were planning to have a new battery put in this week (going in for 120k mile service) but car died this weekend WHILE DRIVING!!! Lights went out, radio went out, made a dash across three lanes of traffic before it died definitively. Car drove fine before that, no warning lights.
We put in a new battery on the roadside, got it started and took it home, though the battery warning light with the ! stayed on for the 20 mins home.
Now I'm left wondering if this could be an alternator issue?! As I said, no prior warning lights ever showed prior to the car suddenly dying...
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance, this is such a great resource.
Keep on Saabin'!!!
