Check your alternator buddy. I had the exact problem driving at night on fwy. I got lucky and turned the headlights off. I have a manual speed so I was able to jump it while driving. Try taking off the negative terminal from your battery next time u start the car. And if it dies in less than a minute. Its ur alternator
