my battery died so I changed my battery....my brake light on my dash and my battery light stay on...I had a near miss accident that jolted the vehicle that is when the lights came on....after replacing the battery with a brand new one. two weeks later the new battery died - I took it in it was at 0 - they charged it back up for me to 620 - but I need to solve the issue so it does not die again...I don't know if there is a short or an altenator or both?

The problem is with alt. It may be wiring, or a bad alt.

Check wiring harness first, then have alt. tested.
