Wow 3 posts now, 2 anon, and own with name.

my guess, is kill switch is no good
or put in wrong (do tell)
or battery was never charged.

pull the neg lug off battery , i bet the battery is still
12.6vdc in morning, I bet. if was before.
this is not rocket science, its just a battery.
if it does have drain, you need an ammeter for $10 (walfart)

Hello Jr, The fact that the battery goes dead even with a kill switch would lead me to think the new battery is defective.

SOURCE: My 2009 Jeep Liberty constantly has a dead battery

Something's running, obviously. Get a volt-ohmmeter that can measure current draw, remove each fuse one-by-one, and test each circuit for a non-zero current.

SOURCE: The battery on my grand cherokee goes completely

Do you have an alarm? It's common for them to pull too much current and drain the battery. Also look for lights such as dome lights or brake lights stuck on that could drain the battery. Are all the wires to the alternator and battery connected?

Have the system checked for more than .2 Amps draw in which case there is a short somewhere.

Also, check that the alternator is charging the battery by putting it on a starting/charging machine at Sears or Walmart or the parts store in your area (e.g. Autozone or Advance Auto Parts).

Good luck on this repair.

I have a xp375 ir air compresser and it has a draw that kills batterys new batterys and it will start but let it set over night and the batts are dead help the switch is good ????

Pull the negative battery cable and put a 12V test light between the cable and the negative terminal. If there is a draw, the light should light bright. From here you can remove items until the light goes dim. The first thing I would test would be to remove the main alternator wire. An alternator can still charge but have a bad diode that will cause a dead short.

2006 liberty new battery alternator works when sets over night battery goes dead put a kill switch on and still goes dead ?

put kill where? at battery post, and is just a switch,
not those dynamic battery drop relays?
if the battery goes dead with the neg. lug pulled the battery is bad.
end of life , battery.
the lug pull never lies.... ever.
if stays ok now this is called battery phantom drain.
(or aka. dark currents)

finding cause takes an ammeter. any,
here is all ways to find a drain.

My battery is going down over night and i bought a new battery and it still goes down over night.

Have your alternator checked, it may charge some but not enough to keep your battery charged. If it has an internal short (blown diode)it can discharge your battery.

The battery in my 2006 Liberty keeps dying. I had a new one put installed in May 2010 and now in November 2010 the battery is dead again.

Have the system checked for more than .2 Amps draw in which case there is a short somewhere.

Also, check that the alternator is charging the battery by putting it on a starting/charging machine at Sears or Walmart or the parts store in your area (e.g. Autozone or Advance Auto Parts).

What is the battery life expectancy for the 2006 Buick Lucerne?

Battery life is a very complicated issue, there are TONS of factors. High temperature kills batteries, if the fluid goes low, that kills batteries. If you forget and leave lights on, and the battery goes totally dead, (totally dead, zippo, not anything) that kills batteries.

Alternator diodes that fail kills batteries. So 4 to 8 years is typical life IN ABSENCE of the above types of issues. My favorite battery is Interstate. They just work really well. Costco has great battery prices, bumpy for service... Really Dislike Sears die easy.

If the vehicle sit for a period of time, even over night and it won't start with the new battery and alternator, you have a dead short drawing voltage from the battery until it goes dead. Disconnect the positive terminal from the battery and connect a test light to the cable and touch the battery positive post with the other end of the tester. If the tester lights up, you have a draw on the battery causing it to go dead. Now you need to pull 1 fuse at a time while the tester is connected to see when the light goes out. When it dies, that is the circuit that needs to be traced to find the faulty switch, bard wire or whatever is the cause. Good luck.
