hey guys my battery is getting drained everytime i use my car. I have electrical power for accessories and initial crank until my batt is drained after about 20 minutes. It is a new battery, is there anything besides a faulty alternator that could cause this. Would something being not grounded properly cause this? fuses? im lost thanks for the help

go check the alternator first. Any kragen or maybe autozone can do it for you.

thats 99.99% guarenteed an alternator...unless of course you have a mini battery to accomodate a FMIC or whatever and run a bigass stereo system...that will do it too...as will underdrive pulleys and huge systems...
