Default Battery light coming on, losing power...help!!

A couple months ago, I was having issues with my battery light coming on intermittantly, had my alternator checked and was told my battery was almost dead. I replaced battery and the next day, the light came back, so I had it retested and the alternator was bad. I replaced it and hadn't had any trouble until last week. I had my AC charged here where I work and the nexy day or so, I noticed my car acting like it wanted to die when I stopped at a light. I stopped using the AC and had them check it the next day. They had overcharged it a little and said it was ok now. Then the battery light started coming on. It isn't on all the time and kind of flashes when it does come on. The car loses power and then pains it back, the blower slows on the AC, then speeds back up, the inside lights and the headlights dim and then go back to normal. It doesn't do it all the time, but seems to be getting worse. I thought it was just when the AC is on, but its not. I had the charging system checked while it was in for tires last week, but they said the light never came on for them. It came on as soon as I left the parking lot. I don't know what else to think or do. Does anyone have any suggestions?

check the battery cables... check the cable from the battery to the alternator... make sure the plug for the alternator is plugged in right... or you couldve just got a bad alternator or battery to begin with... but id check cables and connections from the battery to the alternator... make sure everything is ok.. the cables might look fine from the outside... but that doest mean they're not all curroted and **** on the inside
