Sounds to me that your battery is on it's way out. It might be your r/r not supplying the correct voltage to the battery also.
Only way to find out is get a volt meter and take some readings from the battery @ off/idle/5,000+rpm
The rule of thumb when trying to troubleshoot anything mechanical is replace the cheapest components first. I believe an R/R is a lot more expensive than a battery!
