does it sound like it's trying to start? does it make a clicking noise? do any of the gauge lights go on when you turn the key? some more details would be helpful.

Check to see that your sound system (if you have one) is turning off when it's supposed to. I had an issue with my Accord when the remote wire was touching the 12v constant and kept the amps turned on overnight.

A bad alternator will drain a battery dry new or not. Check it out and let us know.

might be an alternator that sucks or a battery that badly sucks, best thing to do take the battery to autozone let em charge it up and test it, if that doesnt work just replace your alternator

Quit guessing and drive to any parts store who will hook a simple device to test the batt and alt condition- dont "think" it needs something- know it before you buy it

Could be a bad ground cable or connection too!
