It could be a weak battery, or there could be a draw on the system. I need you to check for a draw. I will assume at this point that the alternator light hasn't come on.

Here is the how to for checking for a draw.

One final thing, the alternator. If the battery is good and there is no draw on the system, check the alt. Here is the how to:

Check these things and let me know what you find.
