How old is your battery ? The first thing you might try also is cleaning your battery posts. If that doesn't fix it then you might need a new battery and/or alternator. With it running, check the voltage at the battery, it should be 14+ volts, if it's not, it's probably the alternator, if it is, it's probably the battery.

Should have bought a new battery while you were at WalMart (although I hate their batteries...)
