While I heard this second hand, I believe it to be true.
I may have mentioned that the accessory belt was squealing on startup. The new owner adjusted it so it didn't do that. I assumed he made it tighter. If it was looser, it wouldn't turn the accessories, including the alternator which charges the battery. Then, when he replaced the alternator, I would have assumed he'd tighten the belt again.
What I heard is that it was loose and not turning the alternator and that's why it wasn't charging the battery. Don't know if the mechanic figured this out or he did.
