Default 2003 RX300 won't start after replacing with a new battery

I had installed a new battery on my 2003 RX300. The car ran for a day, but when I tried starting it the next day it wouldn't start. On jumpstarting the battery, the car would start but after removing the jumpstart cables and trying to start the car after 10-15 minutes it wouldn't start. First few times it would just giving a clicking sound when I tried to start it, but now there is no clicking sound at all.

Something is draining your battery.

Take your vehicle to the auto shop you bought the battery from and they can run some tests.

The typical problems are due to

Load left on .. (lights etc)
Aftermarket accessory.
Bad alternator,
