Try the fire wall computer and see if its good you can take it off and go to advance or any parts store and they can test it to see, sounds like what it is

To me it sounds like the alternator. I have replaced a few in my lifetime as a car owner. You go down the line of power from the battery which is good, then if the battery will start the car, but not keep it running, I would guess the alternator from my experience. Too bad it costs $100 to run diagnostics even if it's nothing...
