#345370 Your alternator is dying time for a new one. You can test it at an auto part store just to make sure though.

#345377 Most of the time its not even the alternator that has gone bad. Some time the voltage regulator that is built in to the alternator goes bad or is corroded to a point that the charge can not get to the battery.
Goes with the first reply. Take it out have it tested at the bench.
Replace if needed.

+1 to this.

Happened to my eg alternator. Had a messed up voltage regulator and it would charge up the battery just enough to keep the car running and start again. Swapped out to an ef alternator and all is good. Though now I'm not sure if the charge I'm getting is up to spec.
