Sounds like it may be battery related. First check the battery connections to make sure they are tight & corrosion free & that the alternator is putting out at least 13.5V. The next thing to check is the battery itself as you may have a bad plate/cell.
Places like Autozone will due an alternator test, & battery test. However, to really test the battery requires pulling it. Last winter I had a bad cell on a 4yr old battery where the first time it tested it showed fine and a month later, after another dead battery issue, it showed bad.
Of course you may want to check all the lights... especially those rear map lights as you may not notice one on in the day, (I speak from experience).
