AHHHH. My battery is going crazy!

The thing keeps draining over night. After I drive it, it charges so I know the alternator is ok. No lights or anything is left on at all. I get a jumpstart, let er' run for a while and its good to go for a few days - then bam - back to nothing.

I've had the battery load tested several times and it comes up as a good battery each time.

What things should I start to check?

Thanks!

same thing happened to me. i went and got a new one. no more problems. is there a,gassy chemical odour in the back? even thought mine tested fine it was still fingered enough. is the little overflow pipe running?

get a voltmeter on there and see what the current draw is with no key in the ignition/~1 minute after all doors have been shut (sit inside the car).
