				try disconnecting the alt after youve charged the battery and see if it still drains the battery . Sometimes a short in the alternator will do this, other wise check for drain with a multimeter, disconnect negative and put the meter in line(between the terminal and the battery post) select Amps DC,should not really have anymore than 0.05A current draw.If you do, start pulling fuses to see which circuit its on
