You are probably right. What is the CCA rating?

Also, results from a volt meter on your system, while off, while cranking, while idling, and while running at 2000 rpm would prove interesting. This would verify the alternator functionality, at least, to rule it out. Although the fact that the system dropped out and then made a comeback makes the alternator unlikely anyway.
