Battery will not hold the charge.

Hi lads.
I am having trouble getting my mini to start consistently. Initially the car would need to have being running every second day or else the battery would go flat. I had both a reconditioned alternator and then a new alternator put in as well as a new battery but the problem is still there. I started disconnecting the battery after every journey and that worked for a little while but now the only way to get it started is by jumping (it won't even start from a portable booster kit). My head lights dip slightly when the car is ticking over which suggests to me that there is a problem getting the charge back to the battery. I am wondering if someone could point me in the right direction to get this resolved.
Cheers
