    The problem is that your alternator is busted. Your battery wasn't the problem...you need to test the alternator.

    if it wont hold a charge it may be a parasitic draw, or you may be leaving something on. Look for the obvious like dome light staying on, or glove box light. other than that youd have to go to a shop
