Something is draining the battery, which is called a parasitic draw. This is what would need to be done, check this sight out... www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRso1A0VScw

loose connections, bad or corroded battery terminals and/or Terminal wires, Check wiring for alternator. Check grounds to frame from battery & engine block, with car off check to see if there is any battery drain (shorts or components staying on while parked). Youtube has many video's on how to do this and can be done with a cheap voltmeter.
