Check to see that all of the ground wires are firmly connected and the bolt is tight.

This is typically a sign of an alternator on its way out.

I had a battery replaced on my old Toyota and this situation occured a few days later when I had to recharge the battery because it was dead. Never knew what the cause was but now it seems fine.
