I have a question about the charge on the battery. We have checked the battery and alternator they are fine and the car works fine until the battery's charge runs down. What is draning the battery? Thank you for your help

Check mega fuse 175amp and fuses no.5 and 30 if so check for a short circuit that could be draining the battery-do battery drain test
