how often? every time? could be bad battery, weak alternator, bad connections, weak state, OR excessive drain on battery when car is off. have battery/alternator tested for free at chain autostore.

Have the charging system and battery checked at a place like advance auto parts, O'rielly's, or autozone (they provide this service for free). This can help to determine the problem and the diagnosis won't cost you anything.
