I am losing power to my battery in a one hour period. I have replaced the battery and alternator. I have done a short test by removing the negative cable and running a test light with no short any ideas?

You need to verify powers to the alternator. It may have a supply issue preventing it from charging.
Did you have the old one checked for failure? Take it to a pepboys and autozone and have them check it to see if it works.
