Cadillac Catera Battery Problem

Charging problem- I replace the battery and alteranater in the last weeks and my car still won't keep a charge. It seems when I connect the battery you could hear something draining on the battery for 30 seconds to 1 min. I can't figure out what is wrong. Any guess to go from here?

Does the alternator charge the battery when the engine is running? Have you checked for an electrical draw?
