Hmm. I don't have a 3g and my battery is never dead 
Just check the charging system and battery, one of them isnt doing its job.

Do you have a stereo system blackened? Are you running mainly at night or during the day?
I agree with both though. Blackened is right something is not doing its job all the way unless you are trying to run something like a big stereo that draws a ton of power.
Also I would always recommend running a 3g alt. There is a reason it went standard affair on 94+ mustangs. The stock one is wayyyyy too weak. About as adequate as stock brakes.

Most of the larger auto parts stores like AutoZone, Advanced Auto Parts, etc will check your battery and alternator in the car for free. Do that first and fix any battery/wiring issues before considering a 3G alternator swap.
If the alternator is bad, then consider a 3G alternator swap. Stangnet 3G install sticky - see 3G Alternator Install: A How To - Mustang Forums at StangNet
