993 socket for cigarette lighter is always ON, make sure nothing is plugged into it; also, if you activate the alarm (some people will even do that while the car is in home closed garage) that could drain the battery as well.
Please note that if you end up jump start the battery, the battery life gets shorten by at least 20%.

Use an ammeter to measure the battery current drain when the vehicle has been locked for a few minutes. With the hood open for access to the battery, position the hood latch in the locked position.
Avoid guessing whether you have an excessive battery drain or not! Typically, the 993 battery drain is less than 60ma (.060 amps).
