Check for a bad ground at the battery. Could be the cable is broken under the insulation or the cable is loose on the negative post or any of several other minor issues.

If, while driving, the car/engine "dies" and the battery is DEAD, then the alternator- or something in that circuit- is not working. Once the engine is running the alternator provides the current needed to run the car. If the alternator fails then the engine runs off the battery. Once the battery dies, the car shuts off.

It could be a bad alternator. Bad/failing battery. Bad cable or connection.

Get your charging system checked by a REPUTABLE mechanic who knows what to look for and check. Nothing against those parts store jockeys, however.
