I am anticipating and beginning to have the same problem. My battery is four years old and it is I think weaker as a result. I will sometimes briefly bumpstart on theory that the alt will kick right in. Helps a little, but only for a short while. My other plan is more LED bulbs (headlights and running lights next) and a new deep cycle battery.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
