New Z need help!! acting weird

hey everyone, so i got my first 90zxna and itsbeeing having some problems. hopefully you guys think its the same problem as me or know it might be something different. Well as of now that car will not start, as in dead battery so im thinking it may be that. but for the days it was driving, i was noticing, that if i had lights on, ac, even a blinker to turn, the car would get all funky, with sporadic idles and the mph not even moving, i didnt know what that was until the car battery died and even a jump wouldnt get me home, only got me moving for about a football field. after that information i was starting to think it might be the alternator, pleaase if you guys have any ideas of what it might be that will help thaanks!!

Alternator. If you can get it running, put a multimeter to the battery terminals and read the voltage. If the voltage isn't ~14V, your alternator isn't charging your battery.
