Default Battery draining power

Hi, I have a 2006 f150 lariat and my problem is my battery seem be draining after about 15min of run time and I did put a new Alternator n the battery is maybe a yr old.
I checked the fuse line gauge and also the battery cable and they're working fine and I also checked the fuse box and nothing's broken there.
Anything will help my problem n thanks

You need to get it to a shop that can load test the charging system. This will tell you if the battery is good and if the alternator is trying to charge the battery.

Ya it was a Faulty Alternator, the shop where I got it from said they'll take it back but no $ back but I get a a new alternator to replace and it takes 1wk-2wks to come in! The shop in town has one so I had them put it in n it runs good.
