it could be several things.1. you need a new battery.yours is 2years old and they do lose their ability to recharge over time, depending on how they are used.2.the alternator is bad. have it checked. 3.you are leaving something on ,like a radio that is not wired into the ignition switch,or you have a lite on with a burned out bulb that you don't see, or some other electrical part that is not shutting off when you turn off the switch. hope this helps...

You may have a bad alternator. Try starting the car, then removing the battery. If the car dies, it's your alternator.

Batteries are needed just to provide a spark to get the car started. The alternator is what provides current to keep it running. If the alternator is bad, the car is drawing power from the battery to keep it running. That's why your battery keeps dying.
