Could be that the alternator is not charging the battery properly
Check with a voltmeter
A fully charged battery should read around 12.8 without engine running
With engine running voltage should read around 13.8-14.2
The most likely cause is a broken alternator drive belt

When you turned it off & came back the next day there was not enough juice.

Flashing battery light on 2002 ford expedition?
just happen to me today the flashing battery light means your alternator is going bad and it is draining your battery..so your car may crank a few minutes before, but may put you down while you're out and about so be careful where you drive, because your battery can lose power in less than a minute of driving because of the alternator..car will stall instantly.
