You should have your starter checked. That can drain a battery also.

it WILL cause a problem with a weak battery sooner or later. Also check to
make sure you don’t have any excessive current drain from anything in the
car (including any stereo or security systems).

The aftermarket alternators are somewhat of a crapshoot, but like I said
above, it is a pretty simple check to see if it’s working correctly or not.
