Disconnect your earth and place a multimeter in series measuring amps, this will give you an ideas if anyything is draining your Battery .... if there is a drain you can isolate it by removing fuses one at a time to see what circuits are the issue.

To see if your alternator is working run the engine with lights air con heated rear window all on and at idle with a multimeter should get a voltage reading of 13 to 14 volts any less and it won't charge the Battery any more and the rectifier is toast and its cooking the cells in the Battery.
