alternator reads good, battery dies after highway usage

my alternator tests good, i have tested it, and i have taken it to pep boys to get it tested with a load, it reads good, but after driving on the highway, my battery is down, has anyone else had the problem, what else could it be, or is it actually the alternator

replace the lead wire or check for breaks in the wire itself.
