Battery drain in my SEC

I have a short or something that is draining the battery in my 1987 560 SEC. I noticed these two wires connected to the battery and don't know what they are for. The car has an after market radar detector installed in it which might be the culprit.

Can someone tell me if the small black and red wires connected to the battery terminals are supposed to be there? There is also a green wire that comes through the same opening in the firewall as the red and black ones. The green wire runs to the fuse box.

Thanks for your help.
