2002 Taurus 91K battery died - replaced battery but it keeps going dead. Alternator is fine. Any suggestions?

Sounds like you have something that is on all the time and drawing power from the battery. Check, dome, courtesy, trunk, hood, glove box, and brake lights.

This can be due to loose or corroded cables and or connections , and did the car start even at least once after the battery and starter was replaced? If it did you probably need a new alternator or if your handy enough you have the choice of rebuilding the alternator. Many stores offer free alternator testing , I my self have a 96 Taurus and i have had many problems over the years and now I'm at the point where my alternator is bad and i will soon be rebuilding it. If it is none of these issues then there is some thing more serious wrong in which case it needs to go to a mechanic who can determine and fix the issue.

your alternator was never the problem. Its your battery and/or charging system. the reason the lights get brighter is because the car isn't getting the propper amount of energy from the battery and is having to directly draw off of the alternator. when the engine is rev'ed the alternator spins faster creating more current to charge the battery, witch is why the lights brighten at higher rpms.
