What should I look for?

Nothing was left on that I can tell. Keys weren't in the ignition.

Ran like a champ 2 weeks ago. Glad I checked it out today before hitting the ramp this weekend.

Charge it up, and then see how long it takes to drain. Have you stuck a multimeter on it while it is running? What about checking amp draw while it's off?

Could be battery
Could be parasitic drain
Could be alternator not charging it enough

Harbor Freight has a battery load test for less than $20.
