Aftermarket Battery/starting Problems

I have an 06 Liberty Sport trail rated 4x4 with a 3.7L v6 & auto trans. It as almost 100k. I recently replaced the factory battery. Ran into mech said had problem with battery. Still under warranty I took vehicle back to where I got battery. They checked said battery was fine. Will not replace. They also said transmission, starter, engine, altinator, catalytic converter were also good. Battery dies on a very frustratingly frequent basis. Needs to be jumped. Once it's jumped it's OK for a little while until it dies again. I need a RELIABLE vehicle! I've already put so much money into it for repairs! I don't have ANY left! What could be the problem?!

If the mechanic & place you purchased the battery have differing opinions on the battery, and since so many other areas of your car were tested without fail; it appears there may another culprit.
