the running for 2.5 hours with just a jump start say to me the
alternator is definitley working.  The dead battery after it sits says
unintended current draw; probably with a weak battery.  And it might be
one nasty current draw.  Also the alternator might be intermittently
defective, but if it wasn't working you'd get more lights, so I don;t
think so.
