That's fine I understand. I thought maybe it seemed like I implied that I did have it disconnected while the engine running. I appreciate the help guys she is being a little bit of a pain. I hope soon I will figure her out.

I know you checked the alternator, but I had a similar problem. Fully charged battery would discharge in a matter of 15 hours of just sitting in the garage. Disconnecting the battery overnight, and the battery stayed fully charged, and had plenty of power to turn over the engine. Turned out to be one of the diodes in the alternator was in the process of failing, and was leaking current through the alternator housing to the block. I checked by removing all the wires from the alternator, and used a multi testor in the continuity mode. With the engine off, touched one lead to the alternator casing, and then touched the other lead to each of the alternator posts. There should be no continuity. If there is, one of the diodes is faulty. Good luck
