you need to replace or check the regulator. Im 99% sure its your problem with it keeping a charge. My 300 would loose a charge over night with a new battery also. Basically whats happened is the regulator is fried possibly on the inside(mine showed a little on the outside with a slight burnt wire) and its creating a direct short. With the short,it wont hold a charge nor will it take a charge. if im wrong...well then im wrong. lol. I doubt it though. Ive seen this same thing happen to 4 300s,all were the regulator and when i bought mine it was 80.00 at the dealer.
