Insufficient voltage from the alternator would be typical. If you have a DMM or voltage meter, test the alternator. You should be looking at between 13.6 - 14.6 volts from the alternator... if you're getting less than that, your alternator's on its way out, and needs to be rebuilt or replaced. In a nutshell, your alternator isn't sufficiently recharging your battery, and running your car is draining the battery. It'll continue to run until the battery goes dead. In a newer car, you'll notice nonessential systems start to shut off (e.g., radio, power windows and seats, etc.) as the LVD (low voltage disconnect) kicks in for the sake of maximizing battery life to run essential systems. This is something you really don't want to wait on. If you don't have the aforementioned tools, any auto parts store (NAPA, Advanced, O'Reilly, Auto Zone, et. al) will have the equipment to test your alternator, and can also help you with removal and installation.
