Off the top maybe a shorted battery
or a small draw
or bad diodes in the alt.

Hmmm, well maybe so. I was posting when you posted this but note that this is a problem maybe a couple times a year. I assume if I had a bad alternator or any other major issue, it would be more consistent
. I do have a rather complicated radio set-up with the XM Radio. I have an in-dash head unit, a separate XM tuner, an XM "adapter" module (takes the output of the XM tuner as an input and then sends the signals and data to the in-dash head unit), and an amp. Maybe a check of the connections is in order...
