What kind of altenator did you put in? factory or aftermarket? I have found from experiance aftermarket rebuilt altenators are not very reliable. If you install a new battery I suspect the car will run till the charge on the battery is exhausted [could be a day or two depending on system electrical requests,i.e. rear defroster,A/C, lights,ect ] You really need to have the charge system tested. You can do a quick check on the system if you have a test light and a good battery in the car. take your test light and probe each wire on the altenator. With the car running you should have voltage at the large hot lead and at least one of the connector leads[plugged in to the alt]. this will tell you the wiring in the car is ok so it would leave the altenator as your problem.
