I have a Hyundai Santa Fe 2007

About 18 months ago my car dashboard started flashing and the car started loosing power until it died while driving it all took a few minutes. We replaced the alternator and it was good to go. Then about 8 months ago we had to replace the battery.

Yesterday the dashboard once again started flashing and the car died while driving? Could it be the alternator once again?
Towed it home since it was night time and this morning hooked up the battery to a charger and the car turned on right away, but once it was disconnected, it died within seconds. Connected the battery for a few minutes and then disconnected it, this time it ran for a few minutes before all the lights started dimming and the car once again died.

Could I need a new battery? It's only 8 months old? Still under warranty.

My kids also had left a light on in the car the night before, but wouldn't the car charge while driving earlier in the day?
