Car Drains Battery? Alternator And Battery Has Been Checked, And Tests Good.

Why would the car keep draining the battery?  Took the battery and alternator out and had them both checked.  They both tested good.  The battery was charged and the car ran fine for a couple of hours then quit running and the battery goes completely dead.

The odds are that you have an electrical short. The big problem with any short is locating it. I advise you to take it to a trusted service center.

Good luck!
