Hi I drive a 1997 Chrysler Sebring. Currently i just got a brand new altenator put in and also a brand new battery. For the past couple of days my battery keeps draining after i give it a jump start and i drovve it on the highway for while so it can recharge itself fully. But when u cut it off either after a couple of hours or the next day the battery runs doswn again. i have all my lights off and all my interior light be off as well. Can u please tell me the reason for this. Thanks

Check for a parasitic draw on the battery. There should be less than 30 milliamps when the car is off. While checking the meter, pull one fuse at a time until the draw is normal. Once you find thee circuit you can check the necessary accesories and circuit to find the source.
