You need an uprated battery and/or alternator.

No power cap needed.  Do the big 3, then if it still does it then  you alternator might be at fault.

Battery +ve to alternator +ve 
Battery -ve  to chassis 
Engine ground to chassis 
 
Upgrade all these wires with 4g and it should solve your problem.
