I've recently replaced both my battery and alternator, about 2-4 months ago now my battery gauge is fluctuating, while I'm driving and sitting idle I don't know what's going on and need serious help.

Have the alternator tested at a parts store. You may have a bad alt (even though it's new) or the voltage regulator may be bad.

Let me know what you find.

It just started this yesterday on the way home from work, I drive 19.9 miles one way to work and it takes me about 30-45 minutes to get home I don't want it to just up and die on the highway.

Have the alt and battery tested, and let me know what you find. Most parts stores will do it for free.
