Brand new battery drained after a couple of hours, alternator tested as good.

Take it to another auto parts store to test to verify.
If you put a voltmeter on the battery when the T+C was running, it should read 14-15V.
It could have a bad diode. If this is the case the alt. will be pumping out AC instead of DC. This is BAD. Batteries do not like this and the battery will fail because of it.
Be careful in those 'auto parts stores'. I have found that they employ alot of 'kids' who know little about how a car works. Try NAPA. They are much more knowledgeable and professional. But they cost alittle more.

It could be a loose negative cable or corrosion INSIDE the cable.
There is a main alt fuse in a black plastic case under the hood marked "FUSES" check that.
I would need to know what the alt is putting out at idle and at driving speed.
I would also need to know the battery state of charge.
Make sure your alt belt is not slipping.
Please let me know what you find.
