In my 1993 Altima, I've had that problem 3 times. Each time, it was the alternator. I used a simple voltmeter check to isolate the problem. Battery voltage should be 12-13 volts without the engine running. When the engine is running, that voltage should increase to 14-16 volts. If the voltage does not increase, your alternator is bad...( NOT! the battery won;t go past 12.6 volts....they dont make them to go that high!}
