Something is drawing current. You could try to use a volt meter to measure amperage, then start pulling fuses to see what makes the current drop to normal.

Here is an ehow article talking about the procedure. Just copy and paste the link into your browser.

Occasionally, the trunk light on a car will be stuck on by a faulty trunk up switch. This is hot wired so, light runs full time.

The diagnostics will be necessary unless you get lucky w/ above.

good luck

Also take your battery over to your local AutoZone or Advance store and let them test it and fully charge it for FREE...:)
