What could cause the battery to not charge in a 1999 Chevy Tahoe if its a brand new battery?
Probably need a new alternator, or you battery cables or conectors could be bad If the battery is connected to your vehicle and it is not maintaining charge while the vehicle is running then it is more than likely your alternator that is out. If the battery does not have juice and is brand new then it is defective. I have also heard that if you place a car battery directly on concrete for a long period of time it will ruin. Always put a battery on a wood or a metal surface when storing.
Why would a brand new battery need to be charged or jumped every day The car's power keeps losing its charge every day since about one week or so after replacing the battery with a brand new one.?

Can you Help as im not sure why but the two different batterys ive used have both gone flat whilst driving my peugeot 206 gti?
If a new battery goes flat the most common fault would be a fualty alternator or regulator on the alternator. The alternator is belt driven by your engine and generates electricity to re-charge your battery. A brand new battery may last a few days but without re-charge from the alternator it will eventually go flat.
Would a bad alternator on a 1999 Grand Cherokee Jeep Limited keep discharging a brand new battery?
=== === Some types of electrical shorts do cause the battery to discharge. But usually a bad alternator just does not charge the battery. Or does not put a large enough charge back into the battery. This causes the battery to discharge when you start and run the motor. The spark plugs and other things need electricity that would usually come from the alternator is now coming from your battery. If your bad alternator is not recharging the new battery, the battery will soon fail to start or run your vehicle. You need to have your alternator tested. It should be putting out at least 12 volts, usually around 13 to 15 volts.

If your battery is not fully functioning and needs to be replaced, it can make the alternator work harder. This could cause a brand new alternator to go bad. Check your battery, if the battery is not the issue, return the alternator, it should have a warranty on it for at least the first 30 days.

Why does the battery in your 1999 dodge stratus keep dying It is brand new?
A battery that is brand new often sits around for many months before being purchased and can be in an uncharged state when you purchase it. If you don't use your car for long trips in order to give the battery a good charge or if you don't use your car every day or if you live in a cold climate, it could be that your new battery is just not having an opportunity to fully charge. It could also be caused by a faulty alternator or a voltage draw. If you take the car for a long drive (2+ hours) and still have problems, have the alternator and electrical system checked.
