I think the temp sensor/sender switch screwed into the water jacket of the cylinder block has stuck on. You need a new one. That's why the fans keep running and the battery drains. To find it trace back to it following the cable from the fan motors. Unfortunately it requires a socket size that not many home mechanics have. And you will lose some coolant.
