We have a 1998 Saab 900. It is not driven often. The battery drains if it has not been driven for 6 days. I took the car to a car electrician. He checked the obvious spots and told me the car should be using between 15-50 mA energy max, when the motor is not running. My car is using 60 mA. According to the electrician, this is about 40% higher than what it should do.

The electrician has ordered the schematic wiring instructions to check where the energy is being used. The battery and the alternator are new.

I have typed in 'battery drain Saab 900' in googe. Quite a number of hits. Have not yet found the solution though. It seems this is a common occurance for the Saab 900.

Will a bad alternator drain a new battery?

Yes, it sure will. The alternator's purpose is to replenish the battery. The alternator may either drain a battery while sitting if the diodes in the rectifier leak current (like a check valve) or may just not maintain the system load while your engine is running. (not keep up to the demand/not charge at all)
