Check your battery terminals for corrosion. including the small wire that feeds power to the ignition system on the positive terminal.

Check all your ground wires.

Have your battery load tested and see if it's dieing.

Take your alternator in and have it bench tested at any parts house to verify it functions normally.

Go from there.
