1991 VOLVO 240 does not start 200 1991

I have a similar problem with my 1991 240. A week ago, it would not start but could be jump started. I replaced the battery and problem solved right? Nope. 5 days after replacing the battery, and the car starting with no problem, it sat for 3 days and when I tried to start it, nothing. No clicks, no chime, no lights...nothing. Jump started it first try, let it run for about 15 min turned it off and it started right up again.

I am thinking an alternator problem? The belt seems tight but I have had an occasional belt squeal, comes and goes, for the past three weeks or so. I am wondering if it could be related.

Any thoughts are appreciated.
