Check for parasitic draw http://www.wikihow.com/Find-a-Parasitic-Battery-Drain explains it very well the only thing it doesn't say is what the acceptable level is anything under 0.05 mA shouldnt cause this. there is typically always going to be some sort of minor draw due to the ECM retaining information such as drive cycles etc and radios retaining your presets and time also i would check your ground connections between the battery and the body and the battery and the block.

You have a drain on the battery somewhere. It could be as simple as your glove box light staying on when the door is closed.

The easiest way to find the problem is to set a meter in line to monitor amperage draw, then pull individual fuses until you find the circuit responsible for the power draw. After you identify the circuit, you can inspect it closer to see why it is pulling power.

If you don't believe you can chase down the power draw, any shop would be able to hunt down the problem for you, but sometimes electrical issues can be time-consuming to identify the problem.

My 2001 chevy impala dies while i am driving it. i have replaced the battery, the alternator, and the starter. my battery light stays on even with a brand new alternator installed, then the car dies and...

Look for a big red wire thats connected to the big post on the starter.Follow that wire up to the alternator. That wire should have battery voltage there all the time. If it does not, check that the fusible link, which is in that wire is not burnt or broken.

My brand new alternator wont stay charged

Check the charging relay if working. You can find it in the fuse box which is either in the engine compartment or under the dashboard on the drivers side legroom.

1991 ford escort battery keeps dying

Check and clean and tighten all battery, starter, and alternator connections. Also the battery and engine to chassis grounds. Did you have the battery " load tested" as a good test requires?
Take the battery out and have it charged up. If the alternator is good, you should not have any more problems. But if you need a jump after a few days to start it, then either the alternator or the battery is just not up to par. Have the alternator tested while on the car and running.
Good luck.

1990 ford tempo starts but will die after about 10 minutes. the power from the battery is drained and we just bought a brand new battery for it.

Try to start again, then when the engine is start, remove the negative or positive battery cable, and if the engine die, the alternator is failed., and if not dying, alternator still good. But for me the way you said, I'm 100% your alternator is died. Need to replace a new one. And if you know how to solder, just remove and replace the brusses( carbon) by soldering. ok
