What is the condition of the battery? Are the cells covered with water?

Get your battery checked. They seem like disposable items nowadays, I have been through two in three years.

If you changed it for a brand new battery and still ran out, it's definitely your alternator as it won't charge the battery.

At warm running temp, my car idles at 600-650rpm.
