It sounds like your alternator may have failed. I would check all the cables first and make sure nothings loose. Also, it is possible that the starter could of failed again.

A bad alternator will drain the battery until the car dies. Then you'll have a bad alternator and a dead battery.
I'd take both in and get them tested again.
Just because you bought something new, doesn't mean it's perfect. Always always always test what you can before you install it. I don't care if it's an alternator or plug wires. Test everything you can. It saves hours of headaches troubleshooting later.

Check your Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor (ECT).
Make sure it's still plugged in and/or not damaged.
