The first thing that I would check out is if the alternator is working correctly. If you put a meter on the battery posts you should see a DC voltage of aprox. 12.5-15. If you see lower than this then your alternator is not charging the battery correctly and will cause dimming and then cause a dead battery. If this is good then look for corroded contacts on battery cables and the starter, or silinoid. I hope this helps you a little bit.
