It sounds like your alternator is going bad. There could be something in the car draining the battery as well but that wouldn't happen while driving. Check and clean all grounds and battery terminals just to be sure.

Are you throwwing any cel's?
ELD perhaps?
Alternator/vss fuse?
Its more than likely not the alternator(s)
Its not really that likely that both the engines had bad alternators.
Check fuses,grounds, and ELD its usually the small things one overlooks.(i hope so, its def cheaper)

Use a load detector, see what the charge is with your alternator. Many high end battery chargers have this feature too
