If you have a parasitic draw of less than 50milli amps. Thats .050 amps. I would say you have a bad battery. Its not unheard of for a brand new battery to not want to hold a charge. If thats the case i would recomend a new battery eventhou it may pass all battery tests.

Check the ground...where it mounts to the frame. If it is loose it could cause a draw.

WHAT? There is no way a loose connection on the ground could cause a draw. How could a connection that has more resistance than it should cause an increase in a VD?

It would really help a freaking lot if you posted which car you have, the year, and engine.
If you have navigation un-plug it and see if the draw goes away, common problem.
