Get a voltmeter.
Check the voltage of the battery with the car off - should be close to 12V.
--> If not then your battery is probably bad.
Check the voltage of the battery with the car on - should be close to 14V.
--> If not then your alternator is probably bad.
No matter how many people tell you to do it... do not disconnect your battery while your car is running.
