batteries keep dying...

i just took my formula out of storage yesterday. the battery that was in it was dead. so i put a fully charged battery. got up this morning and that battery was dead. seems like ive got a power drain somewhere. the car has an alarm, could this be sucking all the power?
oh yeah, and is there any possible way to change the plugs on the left side of the motor? the right side was a breeze, but the left looks damn near impossible.
car has 125K on it and i think i took out the original plugs.

Alternator? It sounds like its not getting enough charge from the alternator.

My car died a few times, All that was wrong when i had it check out, the mechanic told me that my wire ends were built up with corrosion, she he wire brushed them all clean and to this day nothing wrong yet but every once in a while ill spay them now with the battery terminal wire cleaner solution!
