Before you through an alternator at it, which can be a little pricey, check it out. Could be just the regulator? The sell them here at Fastlane (click on the link above) for something in the neighborhood of $25.00, if I am not mistaken.

Also, by chance, is the s-belt still good? Could also be (rather unlikely though) that the belt is extremely lose and therefore not charging the battery correctly. Furthermore, how are all teh connections for the battery? Are they clean?

If you have a multi-meter, and do a search on this forum, you can find the instructions on how to diagnose whether it is the alternator and/or the regulator.
