The increased battery discharge could be a sign that something is indeed killing the battery when it shouldn't be, but I would not go there yet.
If the car is not a daily driver, long trips, etc so the battery can fully charge, it can get pretty weak.
start with charging it up with a battery charger using the terminal posts under the hood/bonnet of the car (not directly to the battery in the trunk/boot).
Troubleshoot only after you know you have a fully charged battery. You don't want to go buy a new battery then have it discharged from an errant electronic gremlin.

Oh, interesting. If you hadn't mentioned, I would have tried to charge it from the trunk.
I've never seen a terminal post for charging battery before. Is there a picture somewhere on its location?
With that said, if I need a jump or to jump a car, would I use the terminal post as well?
