Default Crossfire battery is being drained, car will die after driving short distances!

My battery light had been on in my crossfire for a week or so and my car was dying and/or just not starting. I bought a new battery and it did the same thing and the battery light stayed on. I had the alternator tested and they said it was in working condition. Has anyone had this issue with the battery being drained so quickly, what can do that? Any help here is greatly appreciated!

Not sure if you already resolved the issue, but if you had your alternator tested at Advance Auto or similar - a lot of times they will tell you that your alternator is okay but it's really not. You should get it checked out by a reputable shop because most likely it is the culprit.

Don't know if you have checked, but a small oil leak from the filter cap can get on the serpentine belt and cause slippage, too much oil and the belt usually comes off, I'm sure you would notice that :-)
