Autozone will do a free on car load check.

I suspect the battery has taken a poop as well.

In this heat, it only takes a few times of a drained battery to kill it. Especially if it is over 3 years old. My last experiences with dead batterys is they die all of a sudden, with little to no warning...Just, give up all the way..and thats it.

I would:

Replace the battery
Replace both battery cables.
Use a new alternator..make sure the belt is snug (1/4 each way deflection)

Have it checked for something draining power with the key off (alarm, stuck relay..etc)

You do that, you should be good to go.
