It's the holy trinity in charging: Generator-Battery-Regulator. If any one of the components is marginal, it puts strain on the other two components which in turn can lead to their failure. Then you replace the part that failed, not realizing the it was one of the other components that lead to it. So in a few weeks/months the replaced part fails again.

Inspect all the components. Also use a multimeter between the two battery cables without the battery hooked up, and with everything turned off to see if there is anything drawing against the battery.
