could be alternator, check all of your fuses and your starter.

it shouldn't be the altenator cause things would still turn on from the juice in the battery. Check all your fuses and that fun junk

i agree, even if alternator dead, with a new battery fully charged, things should work.
Check black ground wire where it connects to the negative battery to the chassis for rust. sand and clean if rusted.
also check for loose connections, and your fuses.
