The battery is good, the alternator is good, receiving charge through cables back to battery. Car sat for a couple of days, battery low would not start. No switches were left on. Scratching my head.

Go on teh site here and look up battery draw under diy. You need to pull fuses one at a time to find out which circuit is doing this. Normally on american cars it's the glove box light, courtesy lights, underhood and trucnk lights. Staying on when they aren't supposed to.
