My battery seams to run down really quickly when the car is not used.

I have put a continuity meter across the two battery leads, with ignition off (key out) and I have a circuit, should I?

I disconnected the alternator, and the circuit was broken, is this correct, or is there a fault with my alternator?

Cheers,
