One of three things:
1) The battery has a dead cell and will not hold a charge - have the battery checked free at a local AutoZone or similar auto parts store.
2) The alternator and/or components is/are faulty and will not provide a charge - have the alternator checked free of charge (same place as above).
3) The belt is loose or worn - if loose, tighten; if worn, replace.
