i agree with Simon S. .026A draw is totally normal and not enough to kill a healthy battery overnight (or even in a week!). You need to have the battery load tested. Most likely your battery is old and stale (is it older than four years? and need to be replaced.
batteries tend to fail more often in cars that sit for long amounts of time with out use. the reason being that batteries natuarally discharge rapidly if they are not kept alive (charged) from normal daily driving usage.
is also possible that you may have a charging system issue that is killing your battery (over charge/undercharge voltages).
get your car to a shop more a battery and charging system evaluation
