Could be poorly made connections when the new battery was installed or your alternator is going bad.

Sounds like a diode trio in the altenator. Take a volt meter and put it on DC volts and put probes on the correct battery terminals red to postive black negative with the car running you should have no less than 14.00 volts. If the alt. is bad you will problay have 12.00 or less depending on what the battery has left in it.

Poor wiring or fuses (maybe). More than likely wiring. However if your new battery goes dead fast, then you have a bigger problem on your hands than wiring. You might also want to check the cables connecting the battery. They might need to be sanded down and cleaned of battery acid. Sometimes that causes a poor connection.

You may have a slack battery terminal or a faulty ground contact - it is possible also that the alternator is faulty and that is what caused you to replace the battery in the first place.
Hope that helps.

whilst the pink battery mild comes on, which potential your battery's not staying charged up like that's going to be. One reason must be that your battery's over 4 years old and desires changing. in case you have not offered a clean battery in the final 4 years, purchase a clean one. whilst they deploy the hot battery, have them examine the alternator charging voltage with a digital voltmeter. that's going to income 14.5 Volts based on the temperature and value state of the battery.

It could be that there is acid on the connection to the battery.

Sounds like your alternator is going. Check the diode array. One or more of the diodes needs to be replaced.

there may be loose contact at battery terminal or bulb holder pl. clean it and apply petroleum jelly at contacts after cleaning contacts with sand paper
