Can you please explain why my battery is draining after only sitting for a few days? How do I fix this problem?

either the battery is bad and won't hold a charge or the vehicle has a parasitic draw draining the battery.
go to eric the car guy on youtube and search his video for parasitic draw testing.

Any aftermarket stuff installed? Mine turned out to be a defective battery. It was replaced under warranty so I would have it checked.

New batteries have been known to be bad. It is a good idea to have the battery checked as previously stated.
