This sounds like a possible battery or low voltage issue. So that means we need to start with checking the voltage of the battery and make sure it is able to handle the required load by load testing it.
Here is a guide that will help with this:

No matter if the battery passes or fails, we need to test the alternator as well.

Lastly the negative battery cable needs to be checked to find out if it good ground and both battery terminals are clean and tight.
Please run through this info and let us know what you find with this, and we can go from there.
Thanks
