Default Electrical problems

I recently bought a new battery, its been in for about a week. I went to start my car yesterday and the battery was dead. So, i figured i might have left a light on. I drove for probably 20 minutes before i turned my car off. Went to start, completely dead. Had a test done on my alternator, works fine. I dont know what else it could be. Any suggestions would help.

Alternator may work, but it's output isn't reaching the battery to recharge it.

Loose or corroded battery cable connections. (Check at both ends of the + and - cables)

Parasitic load sucking down the charge while car is parked.

Check the battery fuse under the hood and check and make sure the cables are good and tight
