Default Draining battery

Can someone help me figure out what's killing my battery pls. So this is my 3rd time exchanging my battery cause of warranty but everything I put new battery on it fires up no problem on first start. Let it run, go for a short ride then my battery light comes on and says something about the battery saver being active?
it's not my starter or alternator they are new. Those were my first thoughts. I'm thinking some type of wiring maybe? Very frustrating, I can't figure it out.

It is important to know the year and model and engine in your vehicle.

Where are you getting the message regarding the battery saver ?

You are probably correct thinking a wiring connection problem. There are checks you might have done before spending all that time and money and still have the same problem.
Do you have any kind of test equip to use?

Hi, I have a 2007 impla ss 5.3 V8. The message is inside the car on the dash area. I also do have a multimeter and code reader.
From what i read on here it seems like it 2-3 fuses that could be draining my battery that at int lmp, bcm and i forget the other one.
I am going to check every fuse just to check under the hood and see how that goes. Im not sure what else it can be?
