Have the charging system checked to see if there is a problem there. Many auto parts stores will check the charging system for free.

Also, are the battery cable clean and making a good connection with the battery? (If not, have the system checked BEFORE cleaning the cables; then have it checked AFTER the cables are clean to see if that made a big difference) [that is if the orginal charging system check didn't find the problem]
