Need to get car tested to see if anything is draining the battery..
Get a load test done to rule this out...

You will need to test the alternator output to see if it is charging the battery o.k . If the new battery is low you will need to top it up with a charge . If you still have problems with the battery going flat ,and it is o.k after load testing , you will have to check for a parasitic drain .This explains how to check ,
