something is killing the battery on my coupe and dont know what it could be...during operation the voltage will be normal but if car sits for 2 days straight the battery will be drained and i have to jump start.. anyone know what it might be other than the alternator????

if somethng is drawing power while the cars off, you could narrow your search down by hooking up a volt meter to your battery and start puling fuses. when you pull the correct fuse you will see a change on your meter because its no longer drawing power

I once had this happen to my truck . turns out a screw was in the cigarette lighter grounding out/sparking... draining my battery.
could be somthing like that or a glove box light staying on... well you get the idea
