Has the new Battery been tested? has the charging system been tested? never assume anything, I got 3 defective batteries in a row once, used cheap discount auto parts store battery, never will make that mistake again. Kragen and Autozone parts stores will test the Battery and Alternator for free.
Another thing you need to have checked is are any interior lights staying on, go out at night and look, check the visor lights if equipped as well and the hood and trunk lights.

First place I would look is the boot light . Is the switch properly adjusted to switch off the light when the boot is closed.. Remove the eart lead and put an ampmeter in the line and read the current draw . It will give some idea as to what may be still on

Reversed polarity on jump start. now wont go into gear or hold charge

OLder cars YEs you can jump it without a battery. But in newer cars that use computers and advanced Eltronic ignition/timing/ful injection you have to have power to the cars computer. without a good battery the car will not run.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Replaced alternator and battery on my 2001 mazda tribute. now the battery drains if the vehicle sits for one day.

After jumping a dead battery the car will lose power and die while driving. It will however sit and idle without a problem. I did try testing the alternator by removing the positive lead from the battery...

You never jump a dead battery
That is an unsafe act and could
result in an explosion

You must charge any battery fully,
to start any diagnostic proceedure

You never remove either battery cables,
while a vehicle is running,another practice
that will bite you sooner than later

It sounds as though the battery is not
capable of taking a charge and offers
too much resistance to run the car hooked up

2001 Camry Often Won't Start When Hot Outside Unless Jumped

well is the battery draining over the time its sitting?
could be a bad battery or alternator, and/or you might have something on the car constantly draining power from the battery.
best to have it looked at by a mechanic.
