How do I know if it's actually the battery or something else draining it repeatedly

I've replaced the battery in my Ford twice now over the past year and a half, and each time it seems fine for a few months before the same slow starting problem creeps back in, which is honestly starting to make me think the battery itself isn't actually the root cause here but rather a symptom of something else in the car draining it repeatedly, does anyone know what else could cause a battery to keep dying prematurely like this, like could there be a parasitic draw from something staying on when it shouldn't be, or a charging system issue where the alternator isn't actually replenishing the battery properly while driving, I don't want to just replace the battery a third time and end up right back here again in another few months without actually solving whatever the real underlying issue is, while trying to figure out my next step I found information about how to replace your Ford car battery in Sharjah with fast support, but this time I want to specifically ask whoever does the work to also check for something beyond just the battery itself, since clearly something else seems to be at play if this keeps happening repeatedly despite fresh batteries, has anyone dealt with this same pattern of repeated premature battery failure, and if so what ended up being the actual root cause once someone finally looked beyond just swapping the battery each time, also is there a way to request this kind of deeper diagnostic check without it turning into unnecessary additional cost if the battery genuinely is just failing again for unrelated reasons each time, I really don't want to keep throwing money at the same symptom without addressing whatever's actually causing this cycle to repeat, so if anyone's experienced this and finally got to the bottom of it, I'd appreciate hearing what turned out to be the real issue for you.
