You either have a defective battery or something is on and drawing power from the battery. Look at dome lights, trunk light, under hood light, brake lights, glove box light, see if anything is on. If the battery if over 3 years old or has be discharged more than once, suspect the battery. I used to have this problem with an '89 Thunderbird. It turned out to be a bad ground. On my car, it was the bolt that holds the little wire that connects the frame of the car to the negative battery terminal was rusted and corroded. A simple cleaning fixed it.

What would cause the battery to drain overnight on a 1991 Lexus ES250 if the car was off?
Often it's an alternator diode. Check the battery first. When batteries start to go bad they can often start to discharge over a couple hours. Take it to an auto parts retailer and have them test the battery and alternator for you. I had the same problem with my '92 Windom (ES 300). It was a faulty trunk mounted CD changer that was draining the battery.
What does 1994 Saturn SL2 dashboard battery warning light indicate?
It typically indicates that the alternator has failed and is no longer charging the battery. Once that happens, the battery will slowly discharge and the vehicle will no longer start. The battery is simply an electrical storage device and if the alternator is unable to replace the electrical energy used LAST time the vehicle started, the battery will discharge. Automotive batteries are not designed for "deep discharge", meaning that if you allow your battery to discharge too much you are causing harm. Once the warning light comes on it would be wise for you to take care of the problem as soon as possible.
