How old is the battery? Has it been tested to see if it is retaining charge?
Was the charging system checked/tested?

Either the battery is bad or there is a parasitic drain on it causing it to be discharged.

You need to have a parasitic drain test to determine which circuit is draining the battery.

A parasitic test is performed to determine which circuit is draining the battery. An ammeter is connected in series between the battery and ground or positive terminal and the amperage used is noted. If it is anything more than 0.05 amp, something is not turning off correctly.

Price varies and you should consult an auto electrician for a quote.
