If you had to replace three batteries in one year either you obtained defective batteries or you are not using your vehicle enough to keep them fully charged.
Have you ever measured the alternator voltage across the battery with the engine running? Should be 14.4 volts.
What is the CCA rating of the batteries that you purchased?
Should be at least 700 CCA or 900CCA if you frequently use electronics without the engine running.

Just another reason I love having gauges I can count on!
Two things, have a mechanic check to see if your alternator is putting out the 14.5 volts as needed. If it's putting out anything less your battery won't last! You could also have a short somewhere dragging your battery down, mechanic can also check that.
