Could be a bad alternator, not charging the battery, car will run til the battery is completely dead

I saw the dash board flicker off & on with its programing a couple of times to start with. Then while driving home it galloped once. Then driving in my driveway it just stopped & shut off. But started again? '06 Dodge Grand Caravan
