have you tried an other battery? Maybe the battery is not taking a charge and the car is running directly off the alternator. Are all your connections tight? is your belt tight? Could be loose and slipping, not spinning the alternator enough to keep a charge.

Learn how to use a cheap voltmeter and you can solve this yourself...
If you have questions post the voltage numbers here.
Without knowing what the alternator output is or what type of charge the battery holds the only thing we can do is guess.
