If there is indeed a constant drain on the battery, it may have been damaged, so doing this test may be useful. No sense in having it work another battery down!

Hopefully, it is just a played out battery that won't charge, and the replacement will hold a charge.

The final step in that battery testing is to start the engine and see if the voltage across the battery terminals goes upto 14V or more at 1500 rpm or so (good charging system).
