2002 Mercedes Benz G500 30000 miles

I recently purchased a new car battery for my merc G500 , the car has 3 cables (one of them is just bare copper like negatieve electric wire) and the new battery has onyl 2 connecting poles . The new battery keeps draining and dying,. I had it replaced again the same thing happens. Any thoughts?
Thanks
Shawn
