You might want to check and clean all the positive & ground wires.

It could be sooooooo many things!
First i would make sure all your lights go off and your stereo as well. A simple bulb like your glove box bulb can drain your battery in that short of time. Make sure your contacts between your starter and battery are good so you know your getting a full complete charge.
