I always replace the battery when replacing a alternator. They seem to fail hand in hand. Next check the battery cables and alternator connections. Also check to make sure the belt is tight enough. If it is slipping then the alternator wont be charging the batttery correctly. It has to be one of these things. Good luck.

Why do all lights inside out flicker on 2001oldsaurora?
Had that problem when still under warranty on my 02 when all lights would momentarily flicker, including the head lights, and the dealer replaced my alternator. There was a service bulletin put out on that problem. Also just recently, my lights would dim and I found a broken ground wire on the left front side on my engine block after checking all ground connections. Good luck.

Sounds like a bad alternator. The alternator runs the accessories as well as the charging of the battery, whereas the battery is resposible for start up. If you had to charge your battery that also means that alternator wasn't doing it's job and needs to be replaced. Its not a big deal to swap it out.
