Battery dead after vehicles sit for a day or two. Jumps and runs fine, restarts fine then dead again after a day or two Battery is 45 days old or so. Put in a charged (backup) battery with a 12v plus charge. Did a parasitic test on vehicle. Disconnected the negative battery cable. Ran meter in series and set it on mA Base reading is steady at 04.63 mA. Remove each under hood and fuse box fuse and no change (even relays).
After 30 minutes sitting readings remained the same:
battery (backup) voltage at 12.08V
mA at 04.63
Alternator charging at 13.68V
Vehicle Battery 9.56V GAINED 1.52V while sitting disconnected for an hour while testing vehicle.
Any test or suggestions will be appreciated
Additional Notes:
Replaced the rebuilt one it had when purchased, it failed.
Replaced rebuilt alternator under warranty, it failed within a week or two.
Replacement rebuilt alternator installed
Alternator: currently charging @ 13.68V
Battery: current charge 8.04V
Replaced the one it had when purchased, it failed.
Replaced with used battery, it failed within warranty.
Replaced with used battery, it failed outside of warranty.
Replaced with new battery (12/18), it failed within warranty.
Replaced with new battery (5/19), current charge 8.04V.

Starter: never change by us.
