The use of the vehicle will "drain a battery" the job of the charging system is to charge back the used electricity. If the battery continues to "drain" then charging system needs to be checked to see if it is faulty. It is also possible to modify a system which may not allow the charging system to keep up with the demand such as sub woofers and amps in a trunk area. A winch mounted on the front bumper incorrectly or too big for the electrical system. It is also possible for normal wear and tear to cause a system "drain".

The new battery on your 1988 Cadillac Seville keeps losing it volts and stalling the carWhy?
It could be two things. As you know, the alternator charges the battery so it will not drain. If the alternator is not working properly to charge the battery, the battery will continuously drain. Have the alternator tested at your local Auto Parts store (NAPA or Advance Auto) If it is good, have the battery checked.
Can a faulty alternator drain a new battery?
It can, though it is unlikely -- the alternator and the voltage regulator would both have to be faulty. A faulty alternator will not charge a battery, though, so it may seem normal until the charge put into the battery at the store runs out.
