Jump the vehicle. while it’s running disconnect negative battery cable. If vehicle dies it’s alternator is bad. If alternator test goes good. After your done driving for an extended amount of time 30 min plus. Disconnect negative cable again and wait till morning when you need to drive again. Hook cable back up see if vehicle runs without getting a jump. Next step. you may have a power draw while vehicle is off. This would cause battery to drain. See if any lights or power units are left on after car is turned off.
