Either the alternator is not charging the vehicle, or more likely, there is something drawing current and draining the battery. Start by making sure the battery connections are clean and tight, then check your interior, glove box, trunk, and under hood lights. Do any remain on? If that does not find the problem, charge the battery first, and then measure the current from the battery with everything shut off. If you see a constant current drawn greater than 20-50 mA, then start pulling fuses to isolate the problem circuit and then go from there when you know more. Good luck
