Another thing to check is whether there is a drain on the 
battery when you think there shouldn't be.  You can check this
with a voltmeter with the engine off.  I had a small but
constant drain from the courtesy light in my glove box -- the
door didn't shut well and the light was always on.  It was only
a problem when the car sat idle for more than 24 hours in a row.
