Why would a 2000 Beetle still need a jump to start after 2 new batteries and a new alternator when it sits for just a few days?

I have a 2001 Beetle and had similar problems.
The Dealer told me when the car is not in use to use the remote and lock the doors.
This shuts ALL electrical devices off.
Another problem could be a light left on that you can't see like in the trunk or glove box.

Does a boat with an alternator need a battery?
Yes the boat will still need a battery. The alternator is used to recharge the batteries. So when the batteries are ran down by starting it or using the troll motor, the alternator only charges them back up so you don't have to.
How do you diagnose bad alternator?
Start the truck then disconnect the battery if it's still running the alternator is good
If the battery is going out will the alternator still power the car?
the battery job is to start the car so the alternator will kick in after the car is running
Just replaced your battery in your 2000 beetle and it still wont start?
Check for fuel and spark to the cylinders
How do you start a 1994 crown vic with alternator problems?
If the alternator is bad the car will still start. You just need a fully charged battery. Once running then you can check the charge rate from the battery with a volt meter.
Your car wont start just makes a clicking sound?
That could be the alternator or the battery. Try jump starting your car with another car's battery. If it still does not start, it is probably the alternator. If it starts, your battery is dead.
When it it very cold the voltage meter on the dash board is low and have a herd time to start and when it start rpm is low and engine stop after releasing gas pedal?
Cold does that to car batteries and (some) engines. You might consider replacing the battery, or if the battery is still fairly new, consider having the alternator and charge relay checked out.
Why is my 2001 7.3 f250 diesel changed cam sensor but still wont start?
possible weak batteries?
How do you know if you have a faulty battery or a faulty alternator?
A quick test I've always used is to start the car. Remove the neutral cable from the battery. If the car still runs your alternator is fine.
What can you do to find out why your f 250 7.3 wont start have replaced fuel filter checked batteries still wont start?
If the engine turns over the batteries are fine. Diesels require special equipment to troubleshoot, take it to a shop that is competent in diesel engines.
How come I replaced the alternator and battery and starter but my 95 eclipse rs still hesitates to start. But it helps when I press the gas?
The problem isn't your batter or alternator or starter then. Start looking into your fuel management system. Possibly your fuel pump, injectors, etc.
How do you start your 1997 Nissan sentra when you put a new starter alternator battery in and it won't start it makes a click noise and the lights and stereo still work?
Sometimes, brand new batteries need to be charged for a while before they have the power to engage the solenoid/starter properly. The battery may have enough jucie to light up the headlights and run the stereo, but not to crank the engine.
