Default Battery dies fast

My problem is when the car is off, and i have accesories running the battery tends to drain almost instantly. If i turn my stereo up the hu cuts out, only if the car is off, like it's not getting enough power, if the car is on no cut out. Also when i went to get in the car this morning battery was cooked, so i had to bump start it, If i let it run for a couple of minutes it starts just fine, like normal so i think the alt is oK

Help would be great!

you mayhave cells dropping, and it is no longer holding a charge. i would replace it with a yellow top if you have lots of accessories.
