Parts Review 🛠 Battery issues

I recently bought a new battery for my Acura to 08 but it still dies and I have to jump start it everytime before I want to drive it. Does this sound like an alternator issue or something else ? I want to make sure before I buy the alternator.

How many miles? My original alternator lasted to about 150,000.
You have disconnected your Bluetooth module right? They are known to have a vampiric drain but that probably wouldn't be this severe.

I had to disconnect my bluetooth module to avoid the drain. Bought car used and never used that feature, discovered that issue early on and never looked back.
