Somethins draining your battery...check all charging system connections..make sure no switches are on.

If you have a Digital Multi Meter check voltage.. If you have a new batt and a new alt. you might have connection issues, as the car is on you should have 14.5 V. Normally if not check voltage at alternator.. If theirs a difference between the alt and batt voltage you have a voltage drop.. Or check resistance on all 4 wires.. Ign.-solenoid..solenoid-ground or on the high amp side from starter to solenoid or solenoid to Batt.. Let me know the outcome
