Default Bad alternator?

So about once a week my IS300 goes dead, I jumped it 2 times already, everytime I jump it, it runs for about one week, and it goes dead again. I suspected a bad battery so I went and bought a new one. Tried to start my car this afternoon and it died again. All you hear is click click click.

Could there be a relay or something that could have went bad?
