My car has a new battery, alternator, and starter. The alternator has not been charging the battery and the battery does not stay charged up. Now I have no electric running through the car at all. I need some good input please!

Your first step should be to test the charging system so we can determine if it is not charging or if there is a drain on the battery overnight. Is the battery draining while it is being driven or after it has been parked overnight?
