Suggestion above is good. You could also just try leaving the negative cable off for 48 hours and see if it starts strong when you reconnect. If it does, then you know you have a parasitic drain, which is also a good search term for finding out how to track it down.
When you reconnect the battery, listen closely for any relays clicking. I had a set of Hella fogs where the included relay plug was mis-wired and the relay coil stayed energized 24/7. It would run the battery down in almost exactly 48 hours. It was the clicking when I connected the battery that eventually gave it away when I started parasite hunting. As far as I know, no relays should energize just from connecting the battery. That wouldn't make any sense.
