I don't know what you have against disconnecting the battery terminal? That will give you one answer to the question of the battery being either being good or bad. The second answer you need to know is whether or not the alternator is causing the battery drain due to a bad diode. With your positive battery battery lead disconnected from the positive alternator post, put your multi tester in the "continuity" mode, place one lead on the disconnected positive alternator post and the other lead against the alternator body. If you have continuity, reverse the leads of you multi tester. If you still have continuity, one or more of your diodes is bad. You should only have continuity in one direction.
