I check it once a week, and when it falls to 12.5 volts I stop using the system for a week or two to allow it to recharge.

Assume that the alternator is rated at say 100 amp

The permanent solution is to get a bigger alt but a better solution is to buy a battery charger and charge the battery once every two weeks.
I hope everyone is clear about the problem now.
you mean to say you intend to take the battery out of teh car and charge it every few days?

I dont see why your battery should discharge so quickly. i suspect your alternator is not doing it's job. please have it checked from an independant source (not tata dealer).
