Vampire drain on the system. Look for mili amps between the batt and disconnected batt wire with everything off. Pull a fuse at a time to find source. There will be some draw from the system.

Bad battery. disconnect and charge, check full charge voltage then leave disconnected overnight. Connect to the car turn the lights on and check the voltage. Big drop bad battery.

Bad alt. Test voltage at battery then start the car. Voltage should go up.
