There is a good chance that your alternator has stopped working. It could also be just a loose wire from the alternator to the battery that is not letting the battery charge.
Also it could be a bad battery. When a cell in a battery dies it will hold a charge for a short period of time but then rapidly die. Get the battery checked first. they the wires, then the alternator.

Why a 1980 f150 4.9 wont start and the battery is good but will start if boosted?
I assume you had the battery properly tested under load. Its starts and runs when jump started so that tells me assuming the battery is in fact good that the battery cable connections to the battery are bad and need cleaning.
Jump started your car and drove around several minutes. While driving your radio was flashing on and off and ABS light stayed on When you parked and turned off car the battery was completely dead agai?
your alternator is bad even if you charge your battery it could still die because the battery is being wasted while you drive
Would the battery make the car stall?
Yes. This happened to me on 4/15/2012 in a 2003 Ford Taurus. I had been driving for about 45 minutes into a 2.5 hour trip when the following things stopped working (not all at once), over about a 20 minute timeframe... 1.) Battery light and ABS light on the dashboard came on. Tachometer stopped working (with the engine still running). 2.) Hard and/or uneven shifting from the automatic transmission (about 5 minutes later). 3.) Speedometer stopped working while I was driving (around 10 minutes later). 4.) AC and blower stopped working 5 or 10 minutes later. 5.) Car started to sputter. It stalled about 1 minute later after I pulled it over and put it in park. I checked the battery while still in the car. It read around 8.5 volts. After removing the battery, it read around 10.5 volts. I put a new battery in and it started right up. It has ran fine since with the new battery.
You were driving along and the lights started to fade on your car then a whirling noise started after which your car wont start as if the battery was dead what is it?
Defective alternator or broken alternator belt.
Does driving the car also charge the battery if its dead?
Yes, once you have jump started the car (from another car's battery), driving the car will recharge the dead battery (provided the battery is OK). This is a terrible idea and may damage the alternator. Drive the car immediately home and charge the battery with a battery charger. Alternators are designed to keep a charged battery fully charged. They are not designed to charge a dead battery. This puts way too much strain on the alternator circuits.
