Something may be wired wrong and draining the battery while the engine is off.

Could be anything, I have that problem, and it is due to a alternator, why did you replace the battery? You may have a problem with the alternator, or it could be a bad battery. I always check the alternator first though!

Locutus,
Check for ANYTHING that uses electricity from the battery. A radio, amplifier, light. Even if it's an alarm. I have a brand new truck, that went dead in two weeks due to an Amplifier aux. power. Unlucky me, it stayed dead for almost a month and KILLED the battery. So I had to install a new one.
