Could be the alternator isn't charging. Check the belt and make sure it's not broken or loose. If it's tight, then you may have a bad alternator.

Your alternator isn't putting out the voltage to keep your battery charged up. The battery usually keeps 12v-14v after start-up When the car is running the alternator should put out 13-14 volts to the battery. It is putting out enough to keep going (right now, but within 1minute to 3 weeks, it will go out. Are the headlights dim or anything unusual with anything that takes power in the car.

The battery has been replaced but the battery still loses power and runs down once its turned off

it sounds like you have somthing staying powered up hook up battery negitive cable and then use test light on positive lead put clamp on battery positive lead and use the point on the battery if light is on bright then you have somthing staying on like glove light dome lights or even visor lights with lead still hooked up you need to touch the clamp to the point end to power down the timer system usually 20 seconds then pull clamp away from point end while staying connected with battery and cable if you loose that connection you will need to start timer power down again then while someone is keeping the connection pull one fuse at a time and notice if light goes out or dim if it does either then see what that fuse powers and it will tell you what is staying powered
