The alternator wouldn't be a potential problem unless it was not providing electrical output enough to continually recharge the battery. What testing has been performed? Has the alternator output been measured - voltage and amperage? A parasitic draw test should be performed. https://repairpal.com/parasitic-drain-diagnosis That's a quick article about it. Basically -- something may be staying powered after leaving the vehicle, and the only way to find out if and what is to perform testing.
