Default My battery dies (brand New) after a week of not driving, how can I test to find the drain?

I think it may be my Ipod adapter, and I am going to remove it and test again next week, but is there a way to see what is pukking current with the car off? Or does the alarm/clock suck enough juice to kill my battery in 7 days? (I drive 2 days every 2 weeks)

Default Use a fuse buddy to quickly identify possible parasitic drain
