It won't. Look for a light that is on or a stuck relay. Also a dead cell in the battery will cause it to run down overnight.
A short in the wiring.
Shorted diodes in the alternator.
The new alternator is bad happens all the time.
A raidator in need of a flush will not cause a battery drain.
Happened to my 97. The alternator went out. Had to replace it and get a new battery. No problems since.
Your alternator could be bad.
Bad battery, Parasitic drain.
dead cell in the battery or something is on pulling power from the battery.
It can, though it is unlikely -- the alternator and the voltage regulator would both have to be faulty. A faulty alternator will not charge a battery, though, so it may seem normal until the charge put into the battery at the store runs out.
For a battery to "Drain" you MUST have a short somewhere or the "Glovebox" or "Trunk" light is staying on etc. etc. Battery's don't just "Drain" on there own ;-) TommyTrouble
Battery light usually means alternator not charging. Most common solutions would be be a bad alternator, bad connection, or loose alternator belt. If the battery and alt test ok than check the connections to the alternator and battery. You may also have a battery drain (something that is staying on and killing the battery)
