if it was just replaced they it should be under warranty correct? the think to do is put the battery on a charger so it has a full charge before getting a load test and then hopefully done by someone who can do it correctally. if you don't go this route and get another battery and it does the same thing ie looses charge over nite you gotta have a draw. and no you are not being a pia no one ever stated that, it is very hard helping people online vs in person no matter what the problem so yes it gets confusing and hard to steer someone into a certian direction buy info we recieve, it's all good. somethings we can nail right down others it's a shooting match, it will work out.
hey guys. put my battery on a charger and after work took it to a friend that works at kragen. ended up that the battery was d.o.a. wasnt holding amperage like it should have been. got a new one under warranty. put it in car started right up about five times in a row. hopefully this will be the cure to my problem thanks again for all the help

I'm very glad for you (knocks on very high quality hard oak it isn't a draw) the key was charging that dead battery. again don't think of youself has pia and come back again for anyhelp you need. best of luck to you .
haha thanks man. i let it sit over night and went out and it started right up this morning. so that would make me think no draw? in any case thanks for all the help guys
All recent automotive electrical systems have a draw. Some are quite small, enough for the KAM, radio presets and so on. And some newer cars can have a couple hundred mA of parasitic draw (because of all the crap they put in luxo-cars). The condition of the battery and amount of draw play large in how the car starts with a given amount of draw. E.g., you can have a decent draw but if you start the car once every two days, it probably won't be noticable. Let the car sit for a week or two and who knows.
