I have a 91 Dodge Daytona ES with a 3.0 Liter. I will charge the battery fully and when I put it in it will die in a matter of 30 minutes. I dont use any heat or radio or anything that will kill the battery faster. I was told that I had a bad computer, well there were many computers to check. It does have a swapped motor. I tried all the computers with no help. I was told it was a short somewhere. I have no idea and not alot of money to put into it anymore as I am laid off. Please offer any info to as what and/or where something could be wrong. Thank you for reading and your time.

Hi:
First make sure there is a draw from the car and you don't have a bad battery.

Here are the directions for checking for a draw.
