Why does your battery dies over night on your 1993 Nissan altima?
This is caused by one of two reasons. Either the battery has a dead cell and needs replacing or there is a parasitic drain on the battery. The drain can be any light that is constantly on or a relay that is stuck.
Will a bad ground make your battery go down over night?
No, a bad ground will not drain the battery. A dead cell in the battery will most certainly drain it. If it has a dead cell it must be replaced. Also any light that is on will drain it. Lastly a stuck relay will run it down.

What can cause battery to drain on a 1996 trans sport se?
A dead cell in the battery will cause the battery to loose it's charge overnight. The battery must be replaced if this is the case. Also, any light that is on will drain the battery. A stuck relay will also drain it. Disconnect the negative cable at night in the dark and if you see a spark of any size then something is on. You will see a very tiny spark which is normal but look for a spark that show a large power draw.
What would cause the battery to drain on a 2000 Kia Mentor?
In the 2000 KIA SEPHIA, the door has two spring-loaded sensors that do not close all the time, causing the dome-light to stay lit all night. Also, I had to replce the alternater because it could not keep-up with the air-conditioner and the radio and day-time drive-lights at the same time. My clue was the check-engine-light and the over-drive light always on. At the end the parking-brake lights and then finaly the battery-light came on.

Can a bad starter start the car but still drain the battery over night?
Not likely. The starter would have to stay engaged to drain the battery and that you would hear loud and clear. Check for any light that is on. Dome, glove box, trunk, back-up, under hood, etc. It can also be a stuck relay. Lastly it can be a dead cell in the battery which would require the battery be replaced. If the battery is over 3 years old or has been run down a couple of times it is more than likely your problem.
Does battery corrosion in the middle of the battery under the tie down strap but not on the terminals cause battery power to be drained?
No, corrosion will not cause a battery to drain, even if the corrosion is on the terminals. Several factors can cause battery drain, I would first have the battery tested to see if the battery it self is not bad. If the battery is good, then the most common is a short. All most all new cars have a certain amount of drain,(measured in milivolts) this drain is for clocks and computer memory's, and it would take several days of a vehicle sitting for the battery to be drained. Don't immediately assume you have a problem if you see 2-6 milivolts of drain on a battery with the key out, now if your battery is being drained after being parked over night, you have a problem. The easiest way to pin down the problem short is to disconnect your positive battery cable from the battery, take a 12 volt test light and clamp one end to the positive cable, and hold the probe to the positive post. Now if you have a short the light will come on. Have someone help you by pulling the fuses one at a time. If when a fuse is pulled the light goes out you have isolated the short to that system. If you pulled all the fuses and the light never went out try disconnecting all the wires from the alternator, 9 times outta 10 do this will let you know where your short is. If the system is not critical like power locks some people just leave the fuse out.
Car battery die every night?
