From your initial description, it’s NOT THE STARTER!
Once the engine is running, the starter has no involvement. A good battery, fully charged, should permit engine operation for at least 2 hours – without running any accessories, of course.
While the Alternator may test good, that doesn’t mean the current is getting to the battery to keep it replenished. You would be wise to engage a Professional Technician to test the charging system.
