if it is deisel check the alt plug. It may be wet or could have an oil leak on the vac pump drive wetting the plug and slip rings.
If its petrol maybe the same, I only had this on a deisel though.

The regulator on the alternator has probably crapped.
Get a multi meter, measure the voltage while the engine is running (at the battery), if it is below 13.5 volts the alternator is not charging.
