Default Strange Battery Behavior, any help?

So I have a 997.1 GT3, and have had it without issues for about six months. Started strong as an Ox everytime even after sitting for 2 weeks or so. About a month ago I came out and the battery was very weak and wouldn't crank the car over. I charged the battery, and it wouldn't hold a charge. I replaced the battery with a brand new Interstate, and drove the car without issuess for the last two weeks or so just on weekends. So I came out today to start the car, and bam, same issue, battery is weak and won't crank the car over. What could be causing this ? Do you suspect it is a draw or could the new battery be defective. Why would a draw have developed suddenly? I haven't left anything on that I'm aware of. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks Steve

Thanks I will investigate the ingnition tumbler not disengaging all the way. It is for sure not the clutch switch or starter etc, as the car attempts to start right away, just not enough *****. Seems like something is drawing it down.
