Some times we over look the battery terminals and corrosion has done its job inside the wire insulation. If you see white or green not copper color it may have happened to you. Alternator's don't like charging into a bad connection. Replacement battery cables from GM is the best wat to go. However there are splice in alternatives that will work. The new wire end allows you to cut back to copper color and set screw the new positive wire end in place. Negative cables not so complex. Ground to the engine and body. Good luck starting/charging problems are not that hard.

You have a parasitic drain on the electrical system. Try disconnecting the radio and see if this helps. I had a 2000 Chevy Malibu and also had a constant dead battery

Make sure the cables are good and making contact. Sounds like there may be a short somewhere that is either draining the battery or preventing it from recharging. Check you circuits.

first how old is the battery,do u know to check the volts going to battery///that voltage is what charges the battery... it should be at 14 volts//// if that is ok then what u need to do is make sure the battery at 12 volts and with a friend and a volt meter. hook up volt to the battery and have your friend watch it, u with the not on...start to put fuses for acc. to see if volts go up.... do not put fuses to the ecu,and and thing like that,only to the lights ,horn,radio ,and see if volts move ted
