Quite possably, your alternator is dead, or almost dead. Dead batteries tend to recharge slightly after not being used for a day or so or overnight, so that's why you can start it in the morning. But go to the mall, turn it off for ten minutes, come back, and it won't start. That's because a running vehicle can use alot of power, especally at night. Go to an alternator repair shop and get them to test it. You can also do it yourself if you have a multimeter. Most shops will test for free, because if something is wrong there is a very good chance you will get it fixed there. So go to a couple if you can and compare, or possibly get screwed. An alternator is often very easy to replace. (2 bolts and one or two connectors) So try yourself and save a bundle! . Good luck.
IT SOUNDS TO ME LIKE A BAD COIL.
