Jump my escort every time

Ford Escort 1998 Stationwagon 150000 miles
I don't know what's goin on with the car. I connect a battery tester and it says it's ok, the alternator tester also says good. But I have to jump my car every time I go to start it. I can't leave anything on like radio or dome light or heater or ac or it will shut off while just sitting in park. The fuses are fine, checked those too. Any ideas?
