You need to find someone to guide you in how to search for a parasitic drain.
Even the parking lights/position lights left on inadvertantly will flaten the battery.
You need to have a battery on these cars which can hold a decent charge close to design tolerances because they have very many modules and electronic systems which are etreemly sensative to fluctuating voltage.
When I last bought a new one I got a police speck heavy duty model with high cranking capacity.
