If it's not recharging, it's a possibility that you need either a new battery or a new alternator.
Take battery to get it load tested at a parts store. They usually will also attempt to charge up the battery for you to verify that the battery and test to see if the battery has indeed gone bad.

Could be that or maybe your alternator. Worst case scenario you have a bad wire harness(the cables that go from your alternator to your battery). I would check the other two first.

you may need a new alternator. when you start the vehicle, your alternator charges your battery - try jumpstarting your car and letting it run for at least 30 minutes, then turn it off. if it won't turn back on it may be time to get the alternator checked by your local mechanic.

Check the terminals for proper fit and cleanliness, check the belt powering the altenator make sure its not slipping then go the your local parts store and have them test both the battery and the altenator for free.

Could be Battery, but could be alternator, charging regulator, or bad connections.
Get battery checked first.

Assuming your battery terminals are clean and tight and your alternator is good, yes.

Possible...Take it to an Auto Zone and have them check it for free. If it is bad they will tell you to buy a new one. If it is good you need to have your alternator checked. I think they check those too.

BATTERY OR THE ALTERNATOR.
TRY FINDING AN INDEPENDENT SHOP INSTEAD OF THE DEALER OR A CHAIN STORE BECAUSE YOU WILL BE OVERALL MORE PLEASED WITH THE FINDINGS AND THE SERVICE.
