Default Battery light, then LIMP MODE! Help!

This has started happening to me more and more frequently, i will be driving and the battery light will come on. like 5 or 10 min later all of my dash lights will flash a couple times and ding, then as soon as i slow down it goes into limp mode shutters for a little bit and dies. Normally if i push start it, it fixes the problem, but it died 3 times on the way home from work tonight. "luckly it died on hills..."
any ideas?

Start with the battery it may be going bad also check the cables they could be loose or corroded.

Is it your original battery? If so, it is probably due for replacement. If you can't do it yourself, have the battery and charging system checked.
