My 2003 Kia sedona battery is good. But when I turn it off I have to get a jump, but it starts as soon as I get a jump. What could be wrong with my car?

They checked the battery, the battery was good. But didn't check the alternator I just had a alternator put on not even 2 months ago.

It is a Kia have someone trace ground (negative battery cable) corrosion on these is common and will force you to jump start even with new battery and alt. Loosen and clean both ends of these cables
