First thing I would recommend would be to have the battery checked at a local auto parts store. You just may have a battery that is starting to go bad.

Get a voltmeter put it on 12vdc-now put black lead to negative and red lead probe on top of the battery in different places, anything over 0.01 reading needs cleaning-self drainage.
If you pulled all the fuses and its still there-try disconnecting the battery feed to the alternator and connectors-see what happens to the drainage.
