I would check the date on your battery, if its old could not be holding a charge like it once was. I would move to checking all the grounds next making sure they are clean. I would also get some electric cleaner and clean your alt connection where it plugs in, could be dirty contacts..if all else fails could be a faulty alt. and may need to be replaced!
