Your battery might be bad, or so might the alternator, or both. A bad alternator will ruin a good battery over time, and vice versa.

Dead cell in battery or something is on pulling power from the battery. Disconnect the negative battery cable overnight with the battery fully charged (12.6 volts). If the battery is dead the next morning it has a dead cell and needs replacing. If however the battery is still fully charged then a light is on somewhere or a relay is stuck closed.
