Bad Battery?
 
Got a cheap/blem battery from a discount place here in town to use in my project. No issues but for some reason, she's all the way drained now. I started the truck everyday for the last 3 days and no issues. I put a test light on it and it never lit up. The alternator is rebuilt and has been tested so I know it's charging. It was charged up yesterday and today it's totally dead. Could it just be a bad battery?

Have the battery load tested. It might charge up but not actually hold much energy.

Went back to the battery place and they replaced the battery. The new one lasted 3 days and is now dead as well.

sounds more like a drain... any amps flow when you shut everything off?
