StephenVA is on a distinguished road
It can only be one of two things (if all the connectors are clean and tight)
1. Battery failing
2. Drain on battery even with the key in your pocket.


A cheap volt meter is all that is required to find Item #1
Item two is just a question of elimination. Circuit by circuit. Most failures are found in areas like Media players still running, Nav systems still running, door lights and switches turning on due to door wiring chaffing.
Here the quick questions is "Does that vehicle go into sleep mode?"
