In my opinion, it sounds like the charging system is not recharging the battery. It is most likely the alternator, but only a test can tell. These vehicles have had many electrical issues with instrument clusters and wiring harness problems that require a test to verify that the alternator is the only problem. A certified mechanic would be able to perform these tests, diagnose the problem, and accurately fix your battery issue.
