I would replace the DI just because it is easy. It sounds though like possibly a bad alternator. Jump start the car and put a volt meter on the battery while the engine is running (with jumper cables removed). You should see something like 14 volts or close to that. If you see 12.5 volts or less, then the alternator is not charging the battery.
Could then be bad alternator or bad, corroded connections.
