What will cause a 1993 mitsubushi eclipse's battery to drain even after you replaced the alternator with a new one?

If you have checked the battery and made sure that the new alternator is working, the only other possibility is that something is staying on when the ignition is off. Not all new alternators are perfect, sometimes they come with a faulty component that can drain the battery. Also, older batteries can slowly drain if the plates are starting to fail. It's difficult to just give one solution to a problem with so many possibilities.

Does a computer reset after an alternator is replaced?
The computer only resets when the battery is removed. The alternator just charges the battery, so if the battery is left connected when the alternator is replaced, the computer should not reset.

How can I test my alternator to see if it is discharging my battery?
You can have the alternator tested free of charge at just about any major auto parts store. By the way, a bad alternator will not "discharge" a battery - the alternator's function is to provide the charge to the battery. If the alternator is faulty, then it is not providing the charge necessary to keep other components from discharging the battery. I had the alternator tested and it was charging. If the alternator has a bad diode, it will discharge the battery. I replaced the alternator and everything is fine.
