If you are in the United States of America, stop by any Advance Auto, Autozone, O'Reillys, Pep Boys, NAPA, etc and ask them to check your alternator and battery for free. No appointment needed. They take five minutes to do this free service.

It could be a bad battery (yes, I know it is new), a bad alternator, loose connections at the battery posts, or corrosion on the battery cables or other connections.

Good luck.

I just replaced my battery last night ... I think I may have a parasitic drain issue on my hands.

@bobbo: Eric the Car Guy had a great video on finding these. Basically, you pull one fuse at a time to see which operation is still receiving power, and HOW MUCH power it is receiving.

Thankfully, our 7th Gens don't have a gazillion things like the new 9th Gens do.
