I'm not too sure the alarm system is draining the battery. Alarm systems do not draw that much current. You may want to check for a parasitic draw on the battery. Here is a video on how to check... www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRso1A0VScw

Mine did the same thing. Here is the culprit. The rear hatch is not closing securely and the van thinks it is ajar, so keeps the power going to the rear compartment light . I tightened the latch and it stopped draining.
