If you alternator is fine, I'd go back and ground the battery cables at different points.

Do you have anything electronic wired directly to the battery? I mean something that is always powered up and is not switched on by the ignition? If so there is your problem if not somethign is staying on. Find it and eliminate the problem. Also if you had rolled your battery in the dirt the iron in the dirt could be causing the battery to discharge across the two terminals slowly which would cause corrosion as well. I know I'm an asshole don't bother telling me I am.

Why would a relocation kill the battery? *If done corrrectly, there's no way.

Maybe you somehow failed to connect the alternator output (recharge) wire to the battery when doing the relocation. That, or what Skidtron89 said.

ill check

first off is it grounded to a solid spot. if so start pulling fuses and probing them to see if you have a parasitic draw anywhere. your looking for the DVOM to read 12v. if any of them are less than that there is your problem. also check the "B" cable to the alternator to see if its even tight. and check the ground and "S" terminal on the alt. (doesnt hurt to just check it out)

mine was draining bad one time, like if i didnt drive it for like 3 days the battery would go dead. it ended up being that the trunk light didnt go off when it was closed. so maybe its something like that.

Stereo system?
 

Do you have any capacitors wired in maybe from a stereo system?
