How old is the battery? Could be a duff cell which won't hold a charge long.

alternator not working correctly so not charging the battery very well so only giving it enough charge for a few days, you drove it every other day it will top it up enough to see you until the next time

Carry out a charging rate test then on the battery with a multi meter, also, check the output at alternator too. You might ahve a corroded charge wire or a broken up wire and not getting a full charge.

If still draining then you have a battery drain and as said MFD or possibly an ecu not shutting down fully.
