Its possible you got a bad battery. Also are the terminals good? Take the car to Advance,autozone etc. and have it checked out.

Could be a parasitic drain on your system draining your battery.

I had this issue also, installed a grounding kit and it went away, so it could be your grounds, or something constantly and slowly draining it.
