You need a voltmeter. Test the voltage at the alternator, then the voltage at the battery. I had a problem with a different car that made ~14volts at the alt, but a hair under 12 at the battery. Therefore the battery would slowly die cause it wasn't getting sufficient charge after continuous starts. I started the car, then removed the positive cable from the battery to test its voltage supply. The positive cable was badly corroded inside.
