If you are not driving the car for weeks at a time, it may be due to all the electronics that are always on. If you are driving it daily, either your battery is old and can't hold a charge, or you have what they call a parasitic draw. Something that shouldn't be on at all times, is on. Here is a video on how to locate a parasitic draw: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KF1gijj03_0
