'85 Chevy Caprice Battery Drain Sign In

Hello. I own a 1985 Chevrolet Caprice Station Wagon with a 305 V8. Recently, the battery has been draining quite a bit. I took it up to Advance Auto Parts and Auto Zone and both places said the battery and alternator were fine. I realized I still had a warranty on the battery, so I replaced it and I still have the same problem. However, the battery only seems to drain when the car is running and I have the head lights or heater on. When those two aren't on, the alternator charges the battery just fine and I have no issues. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank You.

You need to get the charging system tested by a shop that actually knows how to.
