First check to see if all accessory lights, such as glove box light, under-hood light etc turn off when compartment is closed. If you want to rule out an chance of a faulty alternator diode simply disconnect alternator output cable and regulator connector at the alternator and leave the vehicle overnight to see if this changes anything, if that does not solve it, disconnect the battery ground cable and between the cable and the battery neg post connect a 12v light bulb such as an incandescent test light. bulb will light if there is a drain. start at fuse box and remove fuses one at a time watching to see which one causes the light to go out. this will be the circuit that has the problem.

What could cause the battery to not charge in a 1999 Chevy Tahoe if its a brand new battery?

Probably need a new alternator, or you battery cables or conectors could be bad If the battery is connected to your vehicle and it is not maintaining charge while the vehicle is running then it is more than likely your alternator that is out. If the battery does not have juice and is brand new then it is defective. I have also heard that if you place a car battery directly on concrete for a long period of time it will ruin. Always put a battery on a wood or a metal surface when storing.
