2003 Saab 9-3 repair Question 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

My car just had a new engine put in it a month ago. It kept dying so we bought a battery a few weeks ago. After that it dies again so we took it to get checked. We were told it wasn't charging and we most likely needed a new alternator. We got the alternator put on today and it died again. What's the problem?

YOU NEED TO GET A VEHICLE ELECTRICAL DRAIN TEST DONE, YOU WILL NEED TO LET VEHICLE SIT FOR 20 MIN'S OR MORE BEFORE PERFORMING THIS TEST. CHECK YOUR ELECTRICIAN TO HAVE TEST DONE. GOOD LUCK.
