possibly...how long have you been running it with a bad alternator? if the battery becomes too discharged, or repeatedly charged and discharged more than normal, it might be unable to hold a charge any longer.
Best way to know is to get it load tested at your local auto parts store. They'll test both the alternator and the battery

You can have them both tested at just about any auto parts store. Your battery should charged up some before being tested for best results.

Yup, have a parts store test both the charging system AND the battery (load testing). Then you'll know.
