My car keeps killing the battery, It will turn on if I charge the battery but it will only run until the battery is dead. I think it's the alternator but its a brand new alternator so I think it might be installed wrong. What can I do to fix it?

Have the alternator charging tested to see if it is charging the battery correctly. If charging rate is correct, you would have to check the battery and test for parasitic drain.
