In addition to acutally driving the car, using the little features such as the lights, horn, radio, and air conditioning/heating will drain the battery of a car. Also a dead cell in the battery will cause it to run down overnight. And if something is on such as a dome light, under hood light, trunk or glove box light. A stuck relay will also run the battery down.
