Default alternator or battery

Here is the story. I am not sure if my alternator is bad or i need a new battery. I bought the battery last year when i replaced my starter and also about 3 months ago i got a stereo system in my car.

I was going to work in the morning and i get into my car wouldnt start. I had to get a jump from my dads truck. later on that night when i got home i charged the battery all night. In the morning today i went and tried to turn on the car and it wouldnt start. I had to get the charger to jump my car, once i got it started i drove the car around for about 30 minutes thinking it woudl charge my battery. I got home and checked my battery life and it was at 12%.

Is my alternator not working or do i just need a new battery? Im starting to think my bad idling the past 2 weeks is from this...?

PROBLEM SOLVED. It was my battery... I went and got it tested and my alternator is just fine(phewww) my battery was under warrenty still so i went to advanced autoparts and they gave me a new one for $30.
