If the battery will not hold a charge it more than likely has a dead cell. If the battery is over 4 years old, replace it.

Why does your battery drain on your 1976 Cadillac deville?

A battery that runs down overnight is normally caused by a dead cell in that battery. The only fix is to replace the battery. It can also be caused by any light that is left on, on the vehicle. Dome light, under hood light, trunk light, glovebox light, or even brake lights that our on due to a sticking brake light switch. A relay that is sticking can also cause this. Disconnect the negative battery cable and let the vehicle sit overnight. If the battery is still charged the next morning then you know the battery is good. If the battery is dead then you know the battery has a dead cell and must be replaced.

How do you know when the battery is dead?

A visual check shows an excess of white buildup between plates. This is lead sulphate. If it is touching both plates in a cell, that cell is dead. This reduces power from the entire battery and may render it useless for applications that need full 12V. If a battery does not retain charge despite long hours of charging, it is dead. The lead oxide paste may have flaked off or the lead plates may have corroded leading to non-retention of charge and a dead battery is the result. If charging does not raise battery voltage or show adequate current according to its Ah rating, the battery is dead. If it is dried up and left unused without recharging for a long time, the battery dies.
