Check your battery terminals. Make sure they are clean, tight, and the ground to the engine block is tight and clean.

Let me know what you find.

I had the same problem on my 94 Corsica and it was the pigtail plug on the alternator that was shorting out the alternator connection and would kill my battery. I bought a new one at Orielly auto parts for $10.00 dollars Part no. PT200 company that makes it is BWD. Hope this helps your problem it did mine.
