Battery drains over several days, Replaced battery and alternator. Even disconnected battery for 2 weeks and it was fine. Any suggestions?

Something is staying "awake" likely causing a draw. You will have to have this checked to find the source.
Could just be a weak battery not holding a charge. A battery will typically start to lose health after about two years of use. Other things we have seen are stuck relays running fuel pumps or air suspension. Possibly a trunk or glove box light stuck on.
there is a 15 amp fuse in the fuse box in the engine compartment check and replace that fuse. If it si blown out the alternator will int charge the battery.
Thank you very much for your interest. I finally brought it to a high end electric shop to diagnose. When the alternator was replaced the mechanic reversed the polarity to the alternator when he spliced in a new electric connector. This made the alternator very hot and burned out the diodes. It was drawing the whole time the car sat idle. Thanks again' John
