Are the terminals clean and free of corrosion? Have you checked the alternator? Most auto parts stores will check your electrical system for free. What about after-market add-ons like radio, Bluetooth kit or security system, then one of these could be draining the battery. Some of these may need to have a permanent live connection so that they retain some settings like the time or radio channel frequency, causing a slow drain.

Are you driving the car long enough to keep the battery charged? If not you may need to hook it up to a trickle charge.

How old is your battery?
Are all of the cells of your battery accepting a full charge?
Use a battery hydrometer to test them

Obtain a digital voltage monitor to monitor the output charging voltage of your alternator
