Check the alternator regulator (it's a $20 gamble to see if that will fix it). If not, the diodes in the alternator could be bad/leaky-which can drain the battery, and these are not easy to replace in the field, never mind finding replacements. in that case, you would have to get a new/rebuilt alternator.
