If it keeps up, its your alternator. Replacing it is a happy fun time too!! Took me about 3 hours to get in that bitch out and a new on back in.
It seems that the alternators in our cars are ****, and wear out after 100k. I dunno why, but i know just about everyone who has had a pro has had to replace their alternator.

My alternator started making grinding noises at about 150k miles. I replaced it at around 160k because I was going on a long (2500 mile) trip, and didn't want to have it go in the middle of nowhere, hundreds of miles from the nearest Mazda dealer.
