wait wait wait...

idle WILL NOT CHARGE THE BATTERY...

you need to drive the car above 3500 rpms for over 30 mins.

If that does not charge it then it's probobly dead but still not for sure...

Although with the way you described it... it does sound like the alternator is going bad as the battery died during normal use... which normally only happens when the alternator is bad or a connection is working it's way loose...

your best bet is to get it to an autoparts store that tests alternators... like Autozone or pepboyz...
