I'd look into the alternator. Have it checked. Could be working part of the time. Also could be the voltage regulator. May even be a wire going to the alternator that is broke. Had that trouble on an '83 f 150 one time. Sometimes it would charge and other times it wouldn't. It wasn't broke completely so it wasn't noticable till I got the voltmeter out and went to checking wires.
