Wild Guess here.... "Charging System" ??
Some places still run a free Charging System diagnosis, and other will test the Alternator and Battery seperately if you pull 'em out.
You need to rule out the Alternator first, belt etc. Just in case the Alternator is overcharging the Battery, It will fry a new Battery too.
Then test the Battery. Could be both are fried if the Alternator was bad.
If the Battery is over a few years old, that may be the only problem, fried Battery.
Only proper testing can make these determinations.

What he said. Charging system is the problem. I had the same thing happen to me, but I never made it home. Mine died about 3 blocks from where the problem started. Had to get a new battery/alternator (thank god for a parts car that I had, got me running until the new alternator showed up). :Bang
