Have you had the battery tested? Also, check for a battery drain. Generally the drain shouldn't be over 50 ma/.050 amps. If drain is too much, pull/replace fuses one at a time, when you pull the fuse on the problem circuit, the excess drain goes away. Check for lites that may be on, interior--under the hood, whereever. The best time to check for that is in the dark.
