On the fist place I would check nothing is on then what should not be. Like
trunk light or you are having phone plugged in or something
If it old battery time to replace. It just cannot keep charge anymore.
If battery is new , check your wires.

96 Camry battery drain
I have a 96 Camry, 6 cylinders. The battery goes flat after a week or two
without use. The climate is warm here.
The static current drain is about 60mA. Does this sound about right for this
model?

In news:400b26d0$comindico.com.au,
John <dodo.com.au> being of bellicose mind posted:
60 mA is fine. 600mA (6 tenths of an amp) then I'd start looking for
electronic accessories or a regulator/rectifier leak. Remember, you
have a clock, the engine ECU, and your radio that have volitile
memory.
SO... how old is the battery and are the battery posts CLEAN? There
is a handly littel tool called a battery post cleaner (male/female
conical wire brush).

Re: 96 Camry battery drain
60mA sounds like some items (ECU, clock, etc) are feeding off the battery.
This is referred to as parasitic drain.
As Philip said, check the connectors, make sure the water in the battery is
topped off and make sure to turn off all accessories in the car.
