I used to have a parasitic drain on my battery too. First, I found the heat signature with a thermal imaging usb camera on my phone. It turned out to be the old GPS tracker I forgot that I put in the truck years ago. Then, I added a PriorityStart Battery protector. https://www.batterymart.com/p-priori...lt-promax.html

Installed 3 years now with the truck sitting for months at a time, and I never touch the trickle charger. Starts every time.
It'll also keep me from over draining the battery with the power plug being used. I highly recommend.
