There is probably a bad cell in the battery. Take it to an auto parts retailer and have them check the battery for you.

What is the hydrometer reading for a fully charged battery?
Most batteries today are sealed so a hydrometer is useless. A fully charged battery will read 12.6 volts with a digital volt meter. At 75% charge it will read 12.4 volts, at 50% it will read 12.2 volts and at 25% charge it will read 12 volts. But if you have another type battery then here is what you need to know. A fully charged golf cart battery or fork lift battery will read 1300 A fully charged auto or truck battery will read 1275 A fully charge cell phone tower or solar storage battery will read 1250

Why would a battery keep draining after 24-48 hours on a 2004 Kia Amanti when a battery alternator tests fine?
You probably have a bad cell in the battery. Go to a place that can check it with a hydrometer. Autozone, Checker Auto or some place like that. If you have a bad cell you need to replace the battery. It will usually get worse as the weather gets colder. You may also have something that is pulling power from the battery. Glove box, trunk, underhood, light, etc. Had the same problem--I was told to take both terminals from the battery and touch them together for a few seconds (5, I tried) and lo and behold , it worked---no more drained battery.! With the hood open, find the alarm pin switch on the right (passenger) side. On the hood there is a rubber grommet which will activate this pin switch when closing the hood. If this grommet is missing the battery will draw and will drain in several days.

Either the alternator is not providing a charge to the battery, or the battery has a dead cell and won't hold a charge. There are auto parts stores (AutoZone, Advance, O'Reilly's) that will check batteries and/or alternators free of charge.
