I take it this happened while driving? If the alternator quit for any reason the battery would drain down and the car would stop running - quite a while before you would actually read ZERO for volts though?

A shorted battery could take down the car also and would give you a ZERO reading with a separate meter.

Hey - It's probably needing the alternator but do yourself a favor and if the battery is over 3-4 years old get a new one of those too. Charge the old battery if you keep it with a charger not just the car as it's too low and any battery that low needs to be charged separately or it can kill a good alternator trying,
