Put a new 350 in my car. Everything is new. Started car a few times during the day with no problems. Two new batteries and a new starter and I still can't get the batt to hold a charge. Something is drawing from it but nothing is on. Tester says alternator is charging. Why won't my battery charge and stay that way?

If you're positively sure the alty is producing the correct output voltages could be a short draining the battery
