Symptomatic of battery failure. Could be alternator at fault as well, but regardless of that your 2012 battery would be at the end of its life expectancy.
11 mths ago I paid $744 for a new Jaylec* alternator from US Auto Parts in Brisbane (07 3040 9111). It arrived on my doorstep in Melbourne within 4 hours of placing the order, pretty impressive, obviously they have distributors around the country.
*Part no. 65-8536 for the diesel unit
My mech. fitted it for $198 (90 mins work). Dealer had quoted $880 for an OEM unit PLUS a min. of $600 to fit it (4 hours labour!!!)
Had a new battery fitted at the same time from RACV - cost $425 including fitting and disposal of the old original.
