So the new alternator is charging the battery yes? What voltage is it showing when the cars running?

If it's good, then there will be a drain somewhere when you're not using the car.

Be sure that you turn off the Courtesy light as as soon as you open the door with the meter was in place you can toast your meter.


Here is a good parasitic battery drain video.

Test your battery when it is running, as if you don't have 13.75 to 14V you need to look at your exciter circuit.
