You hooked up the batteries in Series whch pumped allot of current thur the circuit..which probably fried the voltage regulator and probably blew the diodes on your alternator. you can have the alternator tested at an auto parts store.. but I'd replace the voltage regulator ( if its not part of the alternator ) along wth the alternator.. gpawlak1@rochester.rr.com

This may be a sign that your battery needs to be replaced. However, there may be other causes as well.

Have you had the alternator tested? Often a bad internal diode can drain the alternator overnight.
What causes a computer to lose the date and you must reenter it each morning when the power was turned off and the computer unplugged at night and how do you solve it?
The battery that powers the CMOS and clock (PRAM and clock on a Mac) has died and must be replaced. On a PC this is usually a nonrechargeable coin cell (on a Mac this is usually a rechargeable battery connected with a short cable). Once this battery has been replaced the clock will function normally again.

What could be wrong if the battery is good and the alternator is good but the battery keeps being drained?
Something is causing a drain on the battery even with the vehicle off and nothing turned on. A good mechanic can do a drain test on the battery to see what may be draining the charge. A dead cell in the battery itself will also cause the battery to go dead. Disconnect the negative battery cable overnight and if the battery is dead the next morning it has a dead cell and must be replaced. If not look for a light that is on or a relay that is stuck.
