why didn't you say that in the post? I wasted your time and mine.

has this battery been tested? fully charged dosen't mean it is any good, a sulfated cell or cells will drain the battery down.

HI, i would try to isolate this drain. once isolated, it will be easier to repair.
Here is the procedure I use to isolate a battery drain. Remove negative battery cable from the battery. Using a 12-volt test light, hook one end to the negative battery post the other end to the negative battery cable you just disconnected. The test light will glow or "light" if there is a drain. If the "light or glow" is faint, that is probably normal draw for the clock or computer. If the "light or glow" is bright, then there is a large drain. That should be corrected. Now start removing and replacing the fuses one by one until the light goes out; that one will be the circuit with the drain. Remember to hold in the button in the door jam for the interior lights.
