Looking for some wisdom.

My 1991 volvo 240 250k Mile started giving me some problems this week.

Drove with no issues for two years and then I had it idling in my drive way for roughly 10 minutes. Started up no problem but when I went to drive away it stumbled hard and with in a half a mile I had to stop for a red light and it died.

I recived as jump as the battery appeared to dead. I would say running if hooked to another car but would stumble and die once disconnected.

I purchased a new battery.

Car started right up with no issues at all. Drove it for roughly 20 mile / 2 days. then on the third day I had it idling in my drive way for roughly 10 minutes again. When I came out to drive away it was idling rough. As I went to drive out of my drive way it stumbled and died.

Head lights extremely dim. Radio shut of. Starter wont crank.

I suspect the Alternator but I thought I would come here to ask the experts? Any tip or trick you can offer.
