Are you sure the battery was dead? Have you checked it? You can check your battery and your alternator at AutoZone or Checker also I believe.
If your battery is dead and you replace it, if the light is still on, it is the alternator. Take it off and check it, and if it is, replace it. I had to do the same thing.
Make sure you return the old alternator to get some money back for the core.
Also, make sure you connect all the cables on the alternator, because if you forget to connect the tiny cable (not the red one that charges the battery, but the other one that controls everything from the alternator) the battery won't be charged.
Make sure you check everything first, hope this helps and good luck, it sounds worse then it is.
