The car will run fine for several days and then when parked for 24hrs, I try use the key pad to unlock it and everything is dead and the car wont start. Using a portable charger it only takes a min for the car to start. What makes it do this.I have put a new alternator and battery in it and had a diagnostic test run it all checks out so hmmmmmmmm./.

Pull out a fuse every time its parked till you find teh fuse that when pulled stops teh battery drain. If there is none that stops it then disconnect battery, and if drain still happens battery is bad.
