Sounds like you have a parasitic drain, give this a read.

If you need a video I found an ok video, it actually touches on some important things, like not opening any doors, or turning anything on when testing for amp draw.
If your battery is constantly dying, and getting dead cells, needing replacement, then until you chase down the draw you have, you could use something like this, it is a great battery maintainer, it should compensate enough for the draw, that your battery does not go dead.
