Narrow down the problems.. Start the car and check the voltage with a volt meter.. It should be 13.8 or higher when the car is running..

Also check the voltage from the battery while is disconnected from the car.. It should be 12.5 or so..

I have seen that happen when you have a weak battery AND an alarm. The alarm would then drain the already weak battery.
