Default Battery drain. Help!!!

Okay got a 2000 Monte carlo ss and just replaced all coil packs, spark plugs, wires, and also the alternator and the battery!! What else could drain the battery. All of that was fixed 5 days ago and it has ran perfectly fine and nothing was wrong and I went out to start my car this morning and the battery was dead. Please help

Make sure you check all of your connections and grounds for your battery & alternator.

Had the same issue with my 03 ss. After replacing the battery, alternator, and starter the problem went away and the car starts every time.

Default battery was the problem

I had the battery for about 6 days and took it to get tested at advanced and the problem was a bad cell inside of the battery. It had 0 amps when it was tested.
