^^ yeah probably batt charger, but it sounds like dead alt/alt fuse?
try to charge/boost it for longer period of time and see if it will stay running longer, if so then it's def an alt gone south

you might have something else going on, were you doing any repairs or anything recently?

why was it on the 'booster' in the first place? and why is it getting towed. Give us more information and we can better assist you.

the reason why it was on the boos is battery was dead, the car has not moved for a while because the rear subframed broke, and i was towing it to lexus

I suppose you could try putting a new battery in and seeing if that worked. I'd take the alternator back off and have it checked at an Advance Auto Parts.
My car had a problem with the nut on the power wire backing itself out and I'd lose charge, so I locktite'd it with two nuts and haven't had a problem since. And I put a brand new battery in as well.
