Yes,is possible.Because it'son when sitting still/not driving.Along with a lot of other things,like the cronemeter/clock.This stuff will drain a battery after sitting for a good while.Slowly,but still a drain.Most likely the battery has been in use for a good while and may need replaced,but if you don't wanna replace the battery,just disconnect the alarm system or pull the fuse from the panel to deactivate it.

Changed the battery and it set off the alarm. it seams like it activated a kill switch of some kind. is there a way to reset it?

You probably had your alarm set when you took out the old one. Just unlock your doors with your key fob, then disconnect the battery again for a few minutes and let it reset with the alarm off.

Antitheft light is blinking and truck wont start

Disconnect the battery for 2 minutes to reset the alarm system then hook it back up. Sounds as if the alarms kill switch was engaged, which will prevent the car from starting.

Kill switch on 1998 plymouth grand voyager

Just because the lights go on does not always mean that the battery has enough power to engage the starter. The clicking noise could be the voltage regulator clicking. And since you disconnected the battery maybe there is not a great connection at the terminals. Were the terminals cleaned before the battery was reconnected?
Curious ... what was the cause of the check engine light going on?

THE ALARM AND HAVE TO CHARGE THE BATTERY.I THINK THE ALARM SYSTEM IS DRAIN THE BATTERY

Alarm system teake up no more power than the memory on your radio.....un less it is triggered alot. Pul the negative off your battery and connect a simple 12v tyest light between the negative and the battery. The light should fade iout. If it stays on you have a short in the car. Pull fuses that are always on till the light goes out. Might be your alternator. Goal is to get the light to go out.

When I turn the key off, it is like disconnecting the battery.

Does the car have a battery kill switch installed with its alarm system? It sounds as though when you cut off the key it engages the kill switch which removes power from the vehicle when the key is removed and the alarm is tripped.
