In a modern car there are a few things that are still "on" even when the ignition is off, there's a clock in there somewhere, you've probably got an alarm as well ASO. It isn't much, but enough to drain a battery if left long enough, particularly if the battery isn't 100% to begin with.

How do you disconnect a car's battery to shut down the vehicle completely?
On many cars, disconnecting the battery will not stop the engine because the alternator is providing power to the ignition system. If the ignition circuit is locked in the 'on' position, the only way to shut the engine off is to pull the wire going from the coil to the distributor cap, or to pull the spark plug wires. Do not attempt to disconnect the fuel line, as it may cause a fire.
