Default major short killing battery, no start

ok, 1st battery dies. fast. headlights will kill the battery frm a charge in about 4min. w/ a new battery.

when i put charger to dead battery the dizzy starts to tick, the starter clicks, and ivac sensors buzzes( i can feel it on the ivac and hear it frm the end of the intake arm) w/ the key in the start position. the main relay also goes crazy w/ clicks, n my seat belt on the passenger side buzzes(where the belt recoiles into)

when i have the charger set to "start" the starter cranks weak and kills the battery.

also when the battery is charging and the key out of the ignition; when i turn the lights on clicking comes frm various places. and again kills battery quickly.

i have a good neg @ the batter, thermo, and head
the starter cable is tight


i dnt even kno what im sposed to search. srry i tried.

thnx

kinda crazy but have you had the alternator check i know a bad alternator can draw a battery to nothing in not time flat mine was actually drawing power from the car sitting over night and killing the battery.. just a thought cause it is hooked up to the battery threw the fuse box.. also the car never through a check engine or a alternator light and i had the alternator tested and it was bad
