Charging system problem

hey everybody, this is my first time posting in these forums and i was hoping that i could get some advice that could help me out.

Well here it goes, I have a 94 325is with about 150,000 miles on it now. A couple months ago the alternator died, so i replaced it along with a new battery. I was running great untill last week when it was doing the exact same thing as before. As i was driving the radio would all the sudden turn off and all i would slowly start to lose power until it just died. So i went back to advanced auto and told them what happened and the tested my alternator and battery. Both were dead so they replaced them for me for free. I put them in the next day and my car started right up. i drove it around for a lil while until to my suprise it did the same exact thing.

So this is my question, the last time it happened it was obviously not getting any power from the alternator and was only running off the battery until it killed it. So does anybody know what could possible be wrong with it. I was wondering if there was some kind of inline fuse or voltage regulator between the alternator and battery that could be causeing the problem. If somebody has any ideas please let me know. thanks
