Default 98 Neon has Issues

I have a 98 neon 2.0 sohc. I was driving the other day and pulled up to a stop sign and the car just died had no power going to anything. So i open the hood and start to mess around i pushed/shook the battery tray area and bingo the lights came back on. I started it up and drove it home.

The just yesterday i was going down the road with my seat belt on and the dinger started to ding and the light came on the cluster all of my gauges went down and came right back up to where they were.

Also when driving at night i can see my headlights flickering and the radio gets dim and bright. Any Ideas
