First get your charging system checkout out. Most auto parts stores will do this for free. You might also want to look at your starter relay. A voltage drop test will confirm if you are getting full voltage to the starter, and don't have a bad battery cable or terminals. Dying right after starting may be a symptom of a different problem that has nothing to do with the trouble with cranking. It needs to be looked at by a mechanic or someone experienced with working on cars.
