I checked all the grounds, front & rear & i can't seem to figure out why my battery can't sit for longer than 5 days before I need to use my jump box. Any suggestions? The alternator & battery are new.

You need to remove each fuse and with a multimeter set for dc amps check for current when car is off.

Did you actually test the alternator diodes or assume? I’ve seen pretty new alternators fail rapidly. Or did the condition exist prior to the alternator swap?
