Default battery issues.

hey guess. so i have done 3hours of research on others posts. nothing really helped.
my battery was dead so i charged it and still died. so i went bought brand new one. and checked my alternator. has good readouts. well its been three days now and now the battery is dead again.
so my question is if i have a new battery and good alternator... what can be draining power? thanks for help

Its possible that the battery you got is defective. Does the car run fine when you jump start?

Aftermarket alarm? To be honest Ive never heard of a stock audi having a battery drain. If everything is stock I would have the battery tested just to be sure.

hey. yeah every thing in the car is stock. no mods at all. radio. amp. i am going to have another shop check my battery and alternator again. i did disconnect the alarm in the trunk. might have to take out fuses too. but a car that is stock should not be draining a battery i would think.

I want to say your grounding cable is not fully grounded or rotting...
