GMC Repair: battery keeps going dead, astro van, altenator


Question
Pete I have already tested my altenator and got a new battery also tested the starter and the battery still keeps going dead.  I have a 90 Astro van six cylinder 4.3  when you go to start it turns the motor over but it wont start eventually the battery runs down from trying.  Is there anything else that can run the battery down besides the altenator?  I'm at my wits end with this van because it was running fine after we bought the new battery for a whole two weeks and just last night i went out and it was completely dead again.  Help please. Thanks

Hello hun
