Default battery always has to be jumped

ive checked the alternator and it is working fine because i heard that if you take off the positive wire off the battery the car would die if the alternator is bad! so cant see to figure why my battery is draining!

have you installed any electric devices in your car, sounds like you may have something draining the battery. If you already had the battery and alt. tested it has to be something in the car draining it
