Cool Could be that or could be more.......

Any external accessories or is the D1 stock? As well as the alternator , you could have a pinched wire or set of wires that could corroded or shorted and are drawing just enough current to run the battery flat.

You sure you have all the interior lights off? Any minor that could be drawing a current of about 200 milliamps to 1/2 amp draw would be enough to kill a car battery.

Until your problem is resolved, install a kill switch on your battery until you can track down your gremblin. It could be a short or in my case, I drove about 70 miles in a snowstorm with a third-party wiring harness and water got into the relays. It caused a short in my driving lights and I had to cut the wiring to turn off the lights.

For a few days, I had the same situation with the battery running flat until I inspected the wires and noted it had melted. Nice.
