Default Battery or Altenator

The battery has been dead the past few mornings. I jumped the truck and took it to autozone to get the battery checked. They said it was good, and so is the altenator. This was all under the load of the stereo, ac, and a gps hooked up. On my way home while sitting at the light, she stuttered once and died. Turned right back over. The battery is dead today. I don't want to just throw money at the problem. Any help is appreciated.

check the battery leeds, make sure your terminals are clean. but it sounds like there another issue other then the battery or Alternator. I would charge the battery up and clean up the terminals check the wires to be sure there nice and tight. and test the alternator by itself. not using there saber system or what ever there systems called.

Thanks for the help. I've done all that basic stuff. The battery is a few years old dura last gold. I fear it's electrical.
