Battery constantly leaking charge, have to keep it on charge every night. 3rd new battery in 3 years

Battery always unreliable. It’s the third battery in the two years that I’ve owned it. Sometime I go to start it in the morning and there is nothing, no lights on dash and can only open drivers door with the key.

Intermittent starting issue

Engine not cranking. Battery, alternator and starter motor replaced. Sometimes starts, other times nothing. Instrument panel looks normal with no fault codes or warning lights but gives the impression of a flat battery. Suggestions please.
