Hello,
It sounds like you have a bad alternator.
The first thing you need to check is the alternator as well as the battery. When a alternator does not operate as designed it can also make the battery go bad.
Test the alternator output. If you are unable to keep the vehicle running to test the output in the car, you will have to take out the alternator and do a bench test.

When the alternator is unable to keep the battery charged you will get the battery light on the dash. It can be either due to a bad alternator or a bad wiring from the battery to the alternator.

It will also be a good to do a load test on the battery. As the battery could have gotten bad it it was severely discharged by the alternator.

I have attached diagrams for your reference.
Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
