Trackers have been causing problems on Scoobs for years now.

Get the installer/manufacturer to check the current draw.

Have you had the new battery checked out as even brand new they can be faulty. Have any electrics been changed such as audio, gauges, etc. How often is the car used and for what sort of mileage as you need to be driving for at least 20 minutes to get a full charge with minimal electrics on. Also the Scooby uses intelligent charging so when out drive with your side lights on to kick the alternator in.
