I changed the battery about a week ago, and it started right up. I did not drive it for a few days and it is dead again. Any suggestions? Maybe the Alternator???

My first guess is the alternator but have you checked the fan belt? Is it as adjusted properly? What about things that could be draining the battery? Are there any lights that could be staying on when you leave the car? Interior lights? A trunk light or perhaps a glove box light? If there is a short somewhere you are going to have to get a mechanic to look at it but try the little thing first and save yourself some money if possible.

If you didn't drive for a few days and the battery wend dead, then the only explanation is a "short" somewhere in the electrical system. Have it checked out by a reputable shop.

U should ask for an electrical system test---they check the alternator, starter and battery. They can do it at Sears. Maybe it's a defective battery.
