A bad Alternator can fail in such a way that it may Charge well enough to turn "off" the Alt Light/or read "Charge" on the gauge,,,yet it will Drain the battery thru the Alternator's Diodes---"electrical one-way Check Valves"
Should I paint my manifold or clean it and...?
Also,,a new Battery often needs a Full Charge put on it.
Many only have a Low Partial Charge.
Not too Likely ,,but possible.
Or,,as some of the other Good Folks have answered---your car has some device Draining it's battery,,,Trunk Light,,Engine Compartment light,,etc,etc,etc

your battery is badHow can i pimp my ride to turn off the light after sex - without having to close the car door?
check the battery polarity.......red cable is positive.positive signal is marked in top of battery
Having just replaced the battery indicates that it is PROBABLY a good battery, but then you DO know that there are defective products on the market, right?
If the battery is known to be good, and the charging system is known to be within normal operational parameters (charge rate of > 14.3V @ idle), then the only thing left is what is termed a PARASITIC draw.
Something is causing a significant current draw from the battery when the car is just sitting.
Things to check…
1) Defective alarm or security system
2) Stereo or booster powered up with key off
3) Trunk or glove box light on (bad switches)
4) Defect in wiring causing some other device to be left on.
If you are going to attempt to repair it, connect a test light or meter to the system, and begin to remove the fuses, one at a time. Watch the light, and when you pull the fuse that controls the circuit that is causing the problem, the light will go out.

i have a 1989 2.3L ford mustang lx. i want to convert it to a 5.0L. what do i need to do?
you need a new alternator and voltage regulator and have the battery charged.How much will ignition coil install and brake bleed cost?
process of elimination,first check the condition of the battery terminals. thenalternator check. then
fuses and fuseable links. There are automotive part stores that will check some if not all of these things out for you. Let your fingers do the walking and call around ie...Pep Boys, Kragen, AutoZone. etc.....
You have a dead short somewhere in the wiring.
