Battery keeps dying because something is draining the power from the battery. It could be something like your car alarm, the dashboard clock, your memory settings on your car stereo, a stuck relay, etc. You're gonna have to disconnect all of these items one by one as you watch an ammeter for voltage fluctuations. Once you figure out what your problem item is that is draining your battery, you can take the necessary action to repair it.
Troubleshooting your battery drain is gonna be a beyotch!!
Good luck!!
