About 3-4 months ago my car killed the battery, checked everything was off checked alternator and seemed all good, so just replaced the battery, now it has done the exact same thing and killed this new battery, have tried recharging, but once again won't hold a charge long enough to drive the next day, alternator also still good

If the battery won't hold a charge, then it's just a bad battery.

It's the second battery that it has done this too though, would there be something that the car is doing to kill them?
I will replace the Battery on warranty, just concerned it may kill it again in only a couple months time

When the battery is installed they can check that the charging system is working properly and they can test for any parasitic draw.
