Yup sounds like your battery is having a hard time holding a decent charge. Replace it and you should be set to go.

Check the volts on your gauge if they are not dropping its your battery.

Most likely the battery, but check to see if it drains on it's own.

Let it sit for a day or so, then check the voltage. It should be at least 12.3 or a bit more.
