When the engine was running on the AAA battery, if the alternator was not working, you should have had a failure light for the charging system. And after the alternator failed and you were driving around draining the battery, you should have see the charging system failure lamp then as well.
When you get the alternator issue straightened out, you might want to replace the battery at this age and deep discharges really reduce the battery life as well.
So I think that there is something more to this story! Keep up posted.
