The car has been boosted with the cables on the wrong terminals. Battery has been replaced. Car started and ran fine. Couple of days later something has drained the battery completely dead. What could be draining the battery ?

well if its draining that fast you could have melted a relay or wire causing it to short out or a item to stick on. best thign to do is hook a amp meter in series with the battery cable on positive side and keep pulling fuses till the battery drain stops.
