It takes a knowledge of electricity to be able to solve a problem like this. Unless, of course, it's something obvious. The alternator could not be charging. You could have bad cables. A bad ground. It could be a million and one things. The first step, if you think it's a drain, is to perform a parisitic drain test. Then you'll know whether it's a charging problem or drain problem. The battery could be bad too.
