I have a 2001 sentra and my battery wont stay charged. I recently replaced the battery and that still doesnt help. Now when i press the accelerator, the battery light, brake light, and air bag light comes on. Also after getting a new battery Saturday, here it is Monday and its completely drained again. What do you suggest?

try a new alternator as sounds like regulator has had its day ,as for the immobilisor well try the spare key and if that doesnt work then have car taken to a dealer for re-programming but as its a 2001 then a good auto locksmith should be able to programme it for you
the problem could be with your battery, starter or the starter switch please have a look on them and if still it doesnt work check your starter relay....
well if the altenator is charging it will run after getting a jump, you replied you put a battery charger on it but that dont mean the cold cranking amps are good or it could have a dead cell. I would have the battery tested for sure. If you didnt drive far after jump the altenator may be bad but having the battery charged and still does it tells me it is least likely. If the battery tests good the cables could be corroded under the sheath where you cant see. There are other reasons but from what you have posted sounds like you need a battery most auto stores test them for free (load test also)
Check all grounds running from all electrical, If there is not a good contact this problem will occur, when you locate the ground surface take sandpaper or even a knife and scrape or sand the connector and the ground surface then reconnect it, It should return to normal if not then it could be a solenoid possibly but not sure
