If all your doing is starting it and letting it run for a few minutes, your not letting the battery charge up. It's draining more out of the battery than the alternator can put back. Especially if all it's doing is idleing.

Check your starter relay. I think it's on the passenger side fender. Not sure though.
If your batter is charged, your cables are good/clean, and your starter relay is good.
It's probably the starter solenoid.
