No, it doesn't do it when I turn on the lights.

It is my daily driver.
Being it’s your DD, unless your drive time each way is more than 15 miles or so the battery does not get recharged enough to compensate for the start power and juice used for other purposes( Ac, lights, on-star, sound system/nav ETC)

If more driving than above it could be your alternator as you said or perhaps something is staying awake and leaching current. Lots of fancy computer controlled circuits and some of them might not time out after the car is shut down!

Sounds like it is time to see a Pro

Good luck. Dave
