Problems

Well i'm done with the swap and went out for my first run last night everything went well, one thing tho the day before that, the car was acting funny. It was like my starter or my battery was bad dont know which one, was losing power so i went out and bought a new battery and tried it and it started fine. Today went to crank it and it wouldn't turn, lights on dash started to fade. How can that be if the battery is new and tried to push start but we could only hear the engine turning a little but it wouldn't crank.
just went outside and check the battery is compleletly dead now.

What can it be?

You could need a new alternator.....or a power leak somewhere from a grounded wire.

you probably have a draw coming from the battery.
