I had the same exact problem with my old Carlton 2.6 CDX, amongst other electrical woes. Turned out that it was the battery needed to be fully charged, it had the wrong alternator on it. There are three types for the Carlton, if it is fully loaded your going to need the expensive one I am affraid. The person who owned it before me obviously needed to penny pinch.

Battery had time to recover.

Fans on inside? short trips? good electrical drain.
