What is the deal here? What could be my problem, I'm almost sure my altenator is ok, cause when I jump it, the battery is ok after a short drive, then dead in the morning.

Have you added anything new like an amp or something? Or anything electrical that'd be significant?

There's a drain somewhere that could even be the battery itself especially when they pass three years old.

Common unseen drains are hood lights, trunk lights, glovebox etc., that you may not see and if you park on a steep spot some of these lights could be on and unseen. If that's the case check for the drain where the car does this as it may not show up on level ground. They are a real pill because they don't stay broken all the time.

Best to get at this as it's hard on your alternator to frequently charge up a very low battery and can kill it. Battery doesn't like this either, T
