Alternator/battery help and info, please

Hiya Guys,

Battery going flat overnight.
Bought and fitted remanufactured alternator today - what a job!!:mad:
Started with jump leads,although battery charger had green ok light on.

Took for a short run, switched off and it started fine.
Left for 15 minutes tried to start-battery flat.

Could I have put the alternator connector wiring plug in the wrong way round?
If so-what damage could I have done = anyone have wire colours for connector to which terminal.
Battery has been charged twice (without caps removed to allow gas escape and car has been run with fault till battery flat twice=not by me.

I am helping my wifes friend, to save money on garage bills.

02 1.4 Twister.

Think battery is goosed, new one has to be +ve left hand side (from front of car) Japan make I've been told=anyone know the battery type code and best (cheapest) outlet.

Am I wrong, is there any easy known faults?
Any help gladly received

Cheers guys

Sounds like dead battery

Thanks Enuro,
New Halfords 053 code fitted - cost ~£34. Negative post too narrow, turned connector upside down-now tight fit.
Starts fine 12.8 v at rest >14 volts running even with blower and lights on main beam and sounds on - job done £££££'s saved.

Cheers Brian
