Could be battery or charging system. Good idea on not guessing and replacing perfectly-working parts with brand-new perfectly working parts. Because nothing will change. You'll want to do some diagnoses and troubleshooting to positively identify the problem 1st.
Do the following:
1. measure battery's voltage with everything OFF
2. measure battery voltage during cranking.
These numbers will be important clue on narrowing down area to look at next.
