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.

Sounds like the alternator is not charging the battery up / WORKING check charging system.

Also need to make sure the alternator belt is tight.
