In my experience this usually does mean that the alternator is not sending the battery enough charge. Many auto parts stores will bench test your alternator for free, some can even test it while it is still on your car. I recommend getting it tested. They can also test your battery; you would be surprised how fast a battery can go bad. Sometimes you can get a battery that is just a lemon. I hope this is helpful.
