Someithing keeps killing my battery, cant find what it is Options

[viruz_one]

For some reason my celica always seems to drain my battery when I park it and dont use it overnight. After a jump it fires right up and have no further issues. What I have done when its completely dead I jump start it, drive it for like an hour and let the alternator charge the battery up. When I go to park it overnight, I remove the main 60A fuse in the engine bay and leave it like that. The next day It fires right up no problems, but if I leave the fuse in place next morning, starter just starts clikkkin, cant even crank the car. I have looked for something thats draining the power but cant find anything, I dont even have a stereo in place. Any help appreicated.

you can check yourself....if you can start your car, then turn it on with the batt juice you have....then with the car running....unplug the positive terminal on the battery off....if your car is still running...it's not your alternator (it is still good)....if it dies...you have a bad alternator and you need a new one. Saves you the trouble of taking out your alternator. If the alternator is bad, take it off and give it to the shop to test the voltage for reassurance.

Because your batt is low already once you figure it out...take it to those shop to have them charge the batt correctly....make sure they know how to charge it because the guys at Autozone didn't. I had an optima D31a battery for super duty stuff....they tested it and told me i had a bad battery; told me to buy a new batt. took my batt to kragen or o'rilely....charge it with the right amount of amps and heal my battery back to life. I told them what the autozone guys did and he told me i would have turn my optima batt into a bad one by charging it with the wrong volt and amp current.
