This happened to my 1996 Silverado when I was still in school. It's a problem with your ignition or your stater relay, your battery is fine its other components that are bad. In my case it was both but I'm not sure if its case sensitive or if I didn't have to replace both but when I replaced one it didnt start so I took the part off and out the other one on and it still didn't start but when I put both on it started. Once again I'm not sure if it was just my case but I would watch out for stuff like that.

Check the net on how to trace a parasitic draw. It is not difficult.
