Default Battery, Alternator, Cables, ABS I don't know??

While driving my'00S70 (97K miles)to work one day, all of my dash lights started flashing, the radio died and my car stalled. I did some research and I thought I narrowed it down to a bad ABS module. I removed the module and had it repaired. I attempted to drive the care whilethe modulewas being repaired and my battery would only last for a few blocks. I took the battery to the local Autozone and had it checked, the battery was completly drained but it was considered good once charged. I reinstalled the ABS module and drove the car for about 15 miles, it was fine. The next morning, I only made it 5 miles before itdied again. I recently had the battery harness to my relay box replaced. What is the likely hood that my alternator is bad or should I look elsewhere? Help!!

if it was a problem with the battery going dead, then when you turn the car off, everything on the dash would do off aswell(digital readings) do they go off?

Thanks for replying, it starts with the SRS light, then ABS light followed by the brake light, the engine begins to sputter and everything on the dash goes out. Then the car stalls and the battery isdrained.
