1985 Ford Bronco 6 cyl Four Wheel Drive Automatic

Ok heres the deal. I was having to jump my battery every time it was cold out because it was an old battery, so I replaced it about 3 weeks ago. I had to jump it three times yesterday and have to jump it again today. I have tested the altinatop and the battery. Both have proper voltage. All wirers are clean and free of wear and are all clean. I have no lights on or anything like that to kill the battery. Why is it doing this in the cold

The parts store wanted to give me one that was like 504 or something like that but I told them I wanted the 590 cca. I always go for the higher cca I can get for any vehicle I have owned.
