Get to an auto parts store and buy a multimeter for less than $20. That way you can check the alternator output yourself, it should be between 14 and 15 volts. The battery should be 12V.
Then check the draw down on the battery, it should be around .03V Anything greater, you start by pulling 1 fuse at a time to isolate the draw. Time consuming, I know, but this is the only way to isolate the problem.
