new battery, working generator, good starter (I can easy start it with jump cable). but the next day if I try to start it, the battery is died, but all lights, radio will still work, just won't crank. I think something is drain my battery but I just can't find that out.
any ideas?
Thanks

the alternator charges, I used a volt meter checked the output voltage is 15V at 2000-3000 rpm.

Replace your alternator man...It's not functioning I'm sure...It's the one charging the battery while the engine is still running...Or, maybe it's just your alternator connection...Check your alternator wiring connections first...

no, it could be your alternator, if not then maybe you should check for faulty wiring because if it starts with a jumper cable than its not the compression, honestly you should just take it in, or carry around one of those jumper battery things.
