it sounds like your battery, i would go to Auto Zone or something of that nature and have them test your battery, alt, ect.... before spend any money just to make sure 
and make sure your power and ground wires to your battery are clean and hooked up tight

sounds like it your alternator. when you cut your A/C on your alternator has to work a little harder. do a volt test on your battery when the car is off it should be 12.4,12.5, or higher is good. then crank up your car and do a volt test while the car is running that should be 14.4, 14.5 around there. if its in the 14.5 range your alternator should be good. if you dont know how to do a volts test, take it to autozone or a parts store.
