Battery/Alt./ Ground?

My daughter started our 1988 900S 16v non-turbo and left work, after a 16th of a mile it quit. When I got to the car it acted as if the battery was dead. I jumped it and it started but would not stay running under it's own power. After I towed it home I checked connections, Alt. belt, cables, grounds etc. with no obvious find. I then removed the battery and had it checked, I was told it was dead/bad (battery was not 1yr. old). After new battery instaled, car started right up. After a day or two of sitting in the driveway, daughter took car, car quit after approx. 4-5 miles, same symptom, acts like dead battery will take jump but won't stay running under idle? Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
