Vauxhall Agila battery problem

Car: Vauxhall Agila
Variant: 1.0 Petrol
Model Year: 2004

Categories: Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss

The battery was draining quick and discovered it was due to a faulty door light, took to garage they replaced with cheap part and ordered genuine part which they said would fit when arrived (not done this yet). They then checked the battery and charged it overnight, they said the battery was fine nothing wrong. Since then over a month later the car has had to be jump started twice with a flat battery.Can you help or give advice a few people have mentioned check the belt or starter motor others have said just check the alternator is working ok?
Regards
Nick
