Hello and welcome.

Get the alternator checked, had this happen ov a car in the past and it needed a new one.

^as above...

Could be the alternator or something with the charging circuit... Might also be worht getting the battery checked somewhere like ATS to make sure its still up to the job, sometimes the battery cells break down and stop it from charging up properly...
