dead battery....can anyone help?

02 ls sport coupe, ecotec

my battery keeps dying. i've taken it to autozone for the charging and battery check, alternator shows 120 amps at 2000 rpm, and the battery check says the battery is ok. i havent touched anything electrical that would cause a problem. my only idea is a short somewhere, but i wouldnt know where to start looking for one. could my battery be shot or something else, anyone have any ideas?

You probably have a power drain some where. Something on your car is using power while it is off and it is draining the battery. I think Car Craft or something had an article on how to fix this, but I can't remember much except that it involves a lot of poking around with a volt meter. Try searching under power drains.
