Did you find help to your problem? I have an 03 Outlander and battery was 80%, but would not hold a charge so we replaced battery. Car was fine that day, next day the new battery was dead. Alternator has check out ok. Any ideas?

Since alternator was good and new battery also drained it sounds like the connection. Assuming a shop installed the new battery id say it's the actual terminals/wiring.
