Default Battery keeps going flat by the next morning

Hi guys hope someone can help me on this, i have a 1999 impreza awd 2000 turbo hatchback, the issue i have is the battery started loosing charge every now and then, but now eveytime i go out to start in the morning it struggles to crank a couple of times then just get the stater clicks and the alarm bleeps etc.. anyway i have checked couple of things that may be draining the battery i.e central locking, have pulled the head light fuse (HID kit) and it has made no difference, im thinking the battery is no good as had a charger on it earlier for few hours and not enough to start where as last week a couple of hours on the charger would have been sufficient enough to get it started weather something is draining it as fast as im charging i have no idea. any help would be much appreciated as i start my new job next friday and need it for then.

Sounds like the battery has dropped a cell and isn't holding charge.
As stated above, get it checked by a reputable place, NOT a chain that you can't get better than
