Default Car randomly dies

I know I should go to honda tech, but I hate that board, and everytime I ask a question, they tell me to search, even if it isn't something that I could search for...
Anyways, I have a 89 si and It randomly just stop running... It drove for 2 days, and then died, and It started the next afternoon, then ran for like 3 or 4 hours then died... Anyone have any idea what it could be, I'm not throwing any codes, and I have checked and rechecked grounds and connections... I am thinking maybe a bad battery, or charging system...
