Electrical problem
1985 Ford Bronco 6 cyl Four Wheel Drive Automatic

Ok heres the deal. I was having to jump my battery every time it was cold out because it was an old battery, so i replaced it about 3 weeks ago. I had to jump it three times yesterday and have to jump it again today. I have tested the altinatop and the battery. Both have proper voltage. All wirers are clean and free of wear and are all clean. I have no lights on or anything like that to kill the battery. Why is it doing this in the cold
