check the battery terminal connections. Make sure they're tight and don't have any corrosion. Then check the battery voltage UNDER LOAD. Do this by putting a voltmeter across the two terminals and then putting load on the battery by turning on lights, etc. If the voltage drops drastically (3 volts or more) when measured across the battery terminals, you have a battery problem that may or may not be related to your charging system.
Check this (cheap) stuff first, then move on to the more expensive. Lots of times what you're describing is only corrosion on the terminals, which may be cleared up with a wire brush. Then tighten the connectors down securely.
Good luck.
