My car battery cannot stay for more than 4 days.


:( Please help. I cannot find where and what part is causing this problem.

Do you own a multimeter with at least a 10 amp current function and do you know how to use it?

Then use it to measure the battery drain. Whilst watching the drain, pull the fuses one by one until the drain disappears and that will tell you the circuit the drain is one. If the drain does not disappear, disconnect the alternator as I have known these take a drain.
