it could be the main relay.

i had a similar problem with my crx before.

take it to a kmart centre. They do a free battery test and will tell you if its the batter or alternator.

I've never had a relay prob, but this could be specific to ur car

Why dont you buy a manual for your car and have a go yourself? "IF" it is the relay or alternator you should be able to replace them both yoursef if you have a few basic tools. I say do what Limbo said and get it checked for free, then try your luck at the wreckers for the part you need.
