Hi there,

Check the water in the battery, all the plates should be covered, Check for loose or broken alternator belt, is the charge light staying on? have the charge rate of the alternator checked, check battery terminals are clean and tight, and if battery is over 3 years old have it load tested, these tests take only a few minuits each so ther should not cost the earth is find out what is the problem. One last thing make sure that things like the boot light is turning off, a current draw test will show if there is any current draw when there should not be. This can be done by am auto elect.

Good luck'
