Could be an accessory that has been left on unnoticed i.e. glove box light trunk light etc. Could be an excessive parasytic load Could be a bad voltage regulator not opening when vehicle is shut down Could just be that the battery is worn out and cannot hold a charge

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.
