While I was driving my battery light came on the dash. When I stopped and shut the car off, the light stayed on, with the keys out as well. The next morning my battery was completly dead. I don't know how the light could have stayed on with no key in the ignition, I thought the light coming on indicated something wrong with the alternator.

Yep, probably the regulator in the alternator is bad.
