Car Keeps Dying

ok so my car keeps dying if not started for about a full day. Jump it and starts and runs fine, and starts fine throughout the day but when it sits it doesn’t start, it it goes 2 day: it just completely dead no lights or anything.

Things ive done:
1) Battery Tested Good - From autozone
2) Starter Tested Good - from autozone
3) Alternator Tested good- from auotzone (on car)
4) Connection were clean, but I cleaned and sanded slightly anyways

after these 4 the car is still dying, heard maybe a power wire from Bat to alt. But it seems like it charges fine since the car can turn on and off just fine after a drive, seems to be a drainage issue but I could be wrong

what do y’all think? Things I should check, quick look in fuse box didn’t see anything blown, didn’t do a full check but all systems work well, and no I did not leave anything on.
Need to know ASAP! Thanks

check battery voltage while cranking - could be a cell that's only failing under load.

Google "How to check battery voltage" and see what happens
Have friend crank car while you look at multimeter.

My 2 cents are on drainage issue. Google "Check battery drain DIY" Mine does the same thing but it needs to sit for 2 weeks not two days.

Purchase a battery hydrometer and check the specific gravity of each of the six cells. If any are not at full charge replace the battery

Unplug the fuse for the CD changer and see if the problem goes away, if you have ANY other electronics installed start pulling fuses u til you find what's drawing current.
