In May my car battery died. Our mechanic replace it with an Interstate Battery. All was fine until 2 weeks ago.
My car would not start, My husband had to jump start it. It was ok until yesterday. Put the key in, turn it, nothing but a click sound. Dead battery again. Husband jumped start it again.
late last night, it was dead again.
this morning my husband jumped start it again. What could be causing this?

Had the alternator, battery and starter checked at Advance Auto.
No problems with them.
Something is draining the battery, but we do not know
what.
I do not leave any lights on, no radio, nothing.
I am frustrated I know that
