replaced the battery with a new one as well as the alternator and still won’t hold a charge
That is a very wide open statement. This could mean so many things but I’ll make a wild donkey guess. You have some electrical device with a small internal short draining the battery overnight. Likely an aftermarket radio, amplifier or sub-woofer. Other contenders for this are aftermarket alarms or remote starter. If you have any of these, disconnect them or pull their fuses. See if the drain goes away. If the easy fix doesn’t work, have your mechanic do a parasitic drain test.
