81 300d dead battery problem

Battery dies overnite. Connected amp. Meter between ground post and ground cable. 0.15 m/a draw. Disconnected bulbs one at a time and draw never left. So something else is drawing the power. Its not much but the battery is dead the next day. Anyone got any ideas? Thanks

If your battery drains overnight and the true residual current is 15 mA, which is actually on the low side of normal, then the battery is bad.

0.15 as stated is a 150 ma draw, so what is his real draw 0.015 or 0.15
