bad battery or parasitic drain?

this one has bee bothering me for awhile.. this was happening for about 2-3 weeks before my alternator died, when it died, the voltage droped, then surged up.. since replaced it.. still have the problem of after the car sits for a day or two the battery is completely dead.. cant tell if its shot and wont hold a charge, or if i got some parasitic drain on it.. dont really have the time to leave it disconnected for a few days to tell..

nice of someone to respond to my question.. oh wait, this is me.. anyway, it was a bad battery that was testing good.. kinda glad i didnt take the time to pull individual fuses and accomplish nothing.. it was just the battery...
