Do a parasitic draw test see if you have something thats staying on. allowable current draw on any car, or generic number is about .030-.050amps if its more then that. Hook up a DVOM in series with your battery negative cable so the DVOM completes the circuit. Now a have an assistant help you pull fuses and see if the current draw goes down after pulling a fuse (one at a time) if the draw goes away you have found your problem. That is if you have a parasitic draw. Start with the big things like: Cleaning battery terminals-visually checking if any appliances stay on-check wiring from alternator making sure its tight and clean charging the battery properly etc.
