Default 92 accord battery trouble

The battery in my 92 accord is about a year old and started dying more and more frequently. Even after completely recharging the battery, it was dead within a day and a half. Now battery is dead almost every time car is started. Any ideas as to the cause of the problem??

I would say do the following:

Check water levels in battery (those 2 caps and there should be 3 holes per cap)
Clean terminals and use 4-5 parts water with 1 part baking soda to neutralize the acidity on the battery.
Test alternator (take to local autozone or parts store, most do it for free)

My guess would be your alternator is bad.

Yea, first thing have autozone or kragen check your battery and alternator for free. They will run some tests with the battery and alternator still in the car. You can only revive your completely dead battery a few times, then it's gone. I would also guess that it might be your alternator.
