Default alternator confusion

I have a 98 stratus 2.0 liter and its got about 100,000 miles on it. I recently have been having problems with the charging system. It seems that my battery just dies out quickly in a couple days so i havent driven it for about 4 months. When i do jumpstart it, it runs fine, but im guessing my alternator is bad. It's never had its alternator replaced. I was wondering though if it could be anything else. i had the alternator testes at autozone, but their reader was bugging out any ideas?

its not an alternator so dont waste your money look for a draw in your system with the key out.
