If there is other equipment in the car such as a high power amplifier or audio system, disconnect and see if it charges. Also check voltage on battery when you think you are at full charge. You may have a damaged cell inside the battery. Voltage should be around 12.8 to 13V dc.
if the alt is working then there may be a draw on the electrcal system when the key is off ,and pulling the charge out of your battery in time,a good way to ck. this is to first unplug the underhood light then unhook the positive battery c able use a 12v.test light between the battery and the unhooked cable if the light is on there is a draw go to the fuse pannels (under hood &under dash)pull one fuse at a time till the test light shuts off,that is the curcut with the draw,then look for shorts ,no ground and ect.
did u check the main fuse ($5 or so) it is the big one in panel next to the battery, that goes to the starter if it is gone replace need a 8mm or 10 mm deep socket to take it out. if it happends again u most likey needs another starter. that is what i had to do with my 2003 kia reo. hope this helps.
