Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Out of the blue when i start my toyota 4 runner it acts like the battery may need to be replaced.  I had the battery checked and they tell me its fine.  This happened about 6 months ago a few times then stopped.  Now It happenes about once or twice every 2 weeks.  Could it be my alternator, and if so how do I get it checked?
