It could, however it would be caused by the voltage dropping due to more load than the alternator can keep up with, which you would see on your voltage indicator. It would also be apparent through other accessories on the vehicle.

The number one offender, however, is this:

If your alternator is weak, replace it. It will affect everything, and will drag down on an otherwise good battery.
