Could be that the alternator is not charging the battery properly

Check with a voltmeter

A fully charged battery should read around 12.8 without engine running

With engine running voltage should read around 13.8-14.2

The most likely cause is a broken alternator drive belt

Will an alternator stop your car from starting?

while i was driving my car shuts off at nite while the lights are on, and i got it started back up and shuts off and comes back on ******************************************************** If you have a bad alternator it can cause starting problems. More likely because you were driving and not charging the battery, while draining it. The alternator re-charges while you drive. When you turned it off & came back the next day there was not enough juice.
