Default Battery issue

2003 Monte SS 3.8L. Every so often when I go to start the car in the morning, the battery is dead. Case in point...car started and ran without a problem yesterday morning. This morning it was dead. The battery was replaced last fall. Alternator (new AC Delco) and belt were replaced last month. The car is stock without heated seats. No aftermarket accessories. Factory radio. This happens every few weeks. Any ideas???

No dome lights. Security light still blinking on radio. I put the battery charger on for 30 minutes and the car starts fine. The battery (Interstate) is a few months old and the charging voltage is fine: 14.4 - 14.6 volts.

If memory serves me correctly....the problem only happens when I have opened and closed the trunk lid...dead battery the next day !!!! Switch has been ordered.
