1990 toyota camry battery dies after jump start?

[chris]

car dies while running i have had the battery for a little less tha 2 years i just started having problems with it. sometimes when i used to drive it the brake and battery light would come on and now when i jumpstart it the same lights stay on until i give it some gas then they just come back on and it slowly dies.

It could possibly be the alternator because even if battery is bad the engine would run with a jump because the alternator would supply power. If its original its prob shot.
