Unhappy Ongoing Battery Issues Please Help

Alright so I have a laundry list of things that have been replaced some by me and some by old owner. I got the car with 78k on it and have had battery problems ever since. I will wake up and get in the car in the morning and the red battery light comes on and I have no convenience features. After I drive 10 min and shut the car off for fuel or groceries, all functions are restored and I'm good for the day no matter how many times I shut the car down. If it sits for more than 6 hours ish? The warning comes back. If I drive the car with the warning for 45 mins though I will still not have any convenience functions the entire time.

I have combed through all the battery sections of all the forums (I think) and I dont know what to replace next if anything. Im sure I missed something but I dont know where. Below is what has been replaced. Any help appreciated. I'm not new to forums but I am new to posting in one so be gentle .New interstate rear battery 67k (3 years ago)
