Be sure to chek for ground outs. that will drain a battery in no nime. usually doesnt happen but chek to make sure nothing is crossing the poles when the hood is down. check around starter, and into the fendors. these are typical ground sites.

Your battery does not supply electrical power to the vehicle it simply stores it. The alternator is what recharges (replenishes) the power used during cranking. You need to have your charging system checked to verify the alternator is working and at the same time you need to have the battery diagnosed as draining your battery completely repeatedly can cause premature failure.

What does battery deep cycle mean?
Deep cycle means that the battery gets almost totally drained before recharging occurs. You'd find this on batteries connected to solar panels for instance that are used at night. These batteries differ from a motorcar battery as draining a car battery completely, damages the battery. Deep cycle batteries are designed to deal with this and are usually more expensive than car batteries.
