Something is draining the battery. Check voltage on it and see what its reading. Things like faulty ground wires, a dome light not turned off will easily drain the battery. If something is draining it, you will need to investigate whats the source of the drain. You can pull the fuse box off, use a multimeter and read the fuse readings for the most common culprits like dome light, radio, map lights, stereo amp, etc. Keep the battery hooked up, if you pull a fuse and the reading goes up, you found your issue.
