Default Draining Battery

Hi guys this is my first post so I'm lookin for help.

I'm having problems with my battery draining sometimes and don't know whats casuing it. Battery and Altenator are charging and outputting rights amount of watts.

I only travel a mile and half to work and home every day. I know its not ideal. But it only does it sometimes with no wraning it's fine one day then some mornings its just drained.

Any Ideas guys, anything would be appreciated.

Could it be Clifford Alarm Immobiliser Ive had fitted?

How old is the battery? If its over 3 years old then consider replacing it.

I wouldnt bother spending mega bucks for a 'special' battery. A £35/40 option will be fine for the next 3 or 4 years.
