Check that Green/White wire...

There is a small green and white wire that energizes the field in the alternator. On my ‘85 turbo it was pulled of during an oil change, and on my ‘91 900s it broke off because of the alternator vibrating from a bad mounting bushing. In both cases the alternator light did not come on during start up, and the battery gradually drained and I had most of the same syptomes you have.
Note: you should be getting 14 volts during idle with lights/ac on, test across battery terminals.
