Sounds like your battery is going schmitz on you. Go to a local auto parts store and have them check for shorted cells. Also have them check for a whacked out alternator at the same time (usually with the same tool). Most reputable auto parts stores (Auto Zone, Kragen, Pep Boys) do this as a courtesy for free.
