I had the same thing happen to my 2000 navigator. Went through so many batteries, an alternator, etc.As it turns out there is a modular in the brain that is supposed to shut everything down when you turn off the car but mine wasn’t doing that so it sat there and drained the battery. They replaced that and it’s fine now.

Depends on how long it takes to drain. Overnight or a few days. If its overnight its probably the glove box light not turning off. If its over a few days its the alternator. They are a bit pricey on these cars. Most of the chain auto stores will test it for free on the car. Id start with that.

Battery drains power even when car is off, bought
Someone will need to check all of the circuits to find the power drain.
Could be a stuck relay, short to ground, or faulty switch among other things.

Battery keeps draining already put in a brand new alletantor and brattery still draining and battery lights comes on and truck won't start
You would have checked the charging system before replacing the alternator, so I will assume the charging system is good.
If the battery is being discharged overnight or over a few days, you would need to disconnect it and check every circuit on the truck to find the drain.

Am having grand cherokee limited edition 2003, 4.0 the problem is the batery keeps draining. I bought new batery but still drains.Always meet the batery dead.Please, help
If you have a loose fan/drive belt. That would cause the problem. Just tighten it up. Corroded conctions at the battery but you should have cleaned those when you bought the new battery. Have you had the Alternator checked? Perhaps loose or corroded connections at the alternator or a bad alternator. You can remove it and bring it in to a parts store. Many of them will run a check on your old one before selling you a new one. You could have left something on that drains the battery. A light somewhere or even a short causing a power drain.

My 2007 nissan sentra 2.0sl kept draining my battery bought a new one it did the same thing??? what could be causing this?
usually you have something electrical draining your battery so please check any new items installed or you may have a bad alternator as this will definitely drain your battery. You can have this tested at your local parts store.

Battery draining
Usually if the battery is draining that means there's a problem with the alternator.
