The battery doesn't run anything except the starter. That's what the alternator does (and charge the battery after you've started the car). Sounds more like a loose connection under the dash or a relay going bad. Check those first. If it was the alternator, the engine would stall out at idle, all the warning lights would come on, and the car would be really hard to start.
