Default 2000 gs losing power HELP!!

Hello I am reaching out to the forum for help or advice. Ok so the other morning I went to start the car and there was no power what soever in the car. So I jumped it with my other vehicle and it started right up. I let it sit for a couple minutes and went to drive it and the car shut off and lost all power once again. So I thought maybe a bad battery. I went and got it tested but the battery was dead but it was still good so they recharged it for me. So I though ok I have a non charging alternator. I took the alternator out and went and got it tested and it is a good alternator. So then I started looking at the battery cables to see if they were corroded or getting grounded somewhere but everything seems to be in order. Does anybody have any advice to what else this may be. Any help or advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Something could be draining the battery. Also, being that it shut off after a bit of driving could mean something crucial is grounding somewhere causing the car to shut off for safety purposes. <-- that same problem (if exists) could be draining the battery too.

Clean your ground connections, retest whole charging system under load, bad wiring, bad fuse connection, battery may still be bad need to check under load
