Either two things wrong. 1. Battery is truely dieing and needs to be tested or replaced. 2. The charging system is not putting out enough power to keep the battery charged and run the electrically.

If you have a volt-meter, check the battery voltage. It should be in the range of 12.3v - 12.7v (with ignition off and engine off). Next, start the engine and recheck the voltage at the battery. It should at least be above 13v. If not, the charging system is at fault.

My vote is on the stator or regulator since the motor should run with out a battery.
