I just installed a new alternator and battery in my 2007 Chevy Aveo but for some reason the battery won't stay charged. I had it charged up fully but something is draining it. What could else could it be?

I believe this has an internal regulator Ras. Is the battery going dead while it's being used or after it has been parked.
