The problem is not with the battery nor the alternator. When the engine is running, it recharged the battery even if the battery is flat.
Its a wiring problem, loose or poor connection? You have to check the output voltage of the alternator. It should around 13v with engine running.

Also, upgrade your grounds with nice thick cabling and ensure contacts points are all clean & secure.
