That's my thought....the alternator is dying or dead.
Back in the day, I had a big stereo system in my car. About once a year, it would blow one of the rectifier diodes in the alternator. But it wasn't a major problem, because I had the lifetime warranty replacement from Pep Boys. They lost a lot of money on me. Haha!
Probably both. A bad connection between alternator and battery or battery to motor ground could cause the same problem. If you could put a volt meter on the alternator output, that would tell you for sure.
Time to get the freebie test at Auto Zone. Might be the battery and alternator both.
Or a loose connection.
