Default Problem With Battery holding charge

Hello, I have a 1998 Chevy Blazer 2D LS. I don't know whats wrong with it but the battery wont hold charge. If I don't turn the car over every two days the battery will be completely dead. It seems to me that something is draining the battery even though its off, what could it be? Any ideas?
Thanks for helping

Time to get familiar with your multi-meter. If you don't have one, time to invest in one. There have been many battery drain posts in the past that have explained the process that you need to go through to first confirm that there is a drain and then to isolate the source of the drain.

you have something draining it. At night or in the darkest place you can find (garage), look for lights that are staying on. Prime suspects are visor lights, underhood, glove box, ashtray, etc. If you have an aftermarket stereo, that could be it.
