Why does the battery not hold a charge overnight. I have changed the alternator and replaced a new battery?

You have something on that is pulling power from the battery. Can be any light on the car. Dome, curtsey, under hood, trunk, glove box, etc. Can also be a relay that is stuck.

The alternator only needs to be replaced when it fails. Its not a part that needs to be changed during routine maintenance. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

Have you checked the alternator?
When you drive your 2000 elantra you notice that smoke comes out of the battery top vent you changed the battery and this is still going on does anyone know what could be the problem?
The alternator is probably over-charging the battery. Replace the alternator if the voltage at the battery terminals is over 15V when the engine is running.
