You should be able to find alot of postings about alternators but, I always find the best bet is to measure the voltage at the battery during the car idling. the battery at the terminal should be about or over 13.5 volts dc. Mine went at about 160k miles, also driving through a puddle contributed to its death. If you have the 13.5 or better, then measure the battery with the car off, it should reduce to 12.0 volts dc. If it lessons over time then the battery is at Fault. Also make sure the cable are not loose at the battery terminals.
Good luck - should you be replacing the alternator, it takes a little bit to do. There are proceedures posted here some where.
