Best Answer

It is usually caused by a couple of things,first cause is when slowing down the engine drops in RPM's thus causing your alternator to have a reduce charge output to the battery.Second cause could be indicative of a failing alternator.Best thing to do is have the alternator output checked. Good luck.
