Battery Drain

The last couple months if I leave me truck in the garage for a week the batteries are drained down to 11.9 volts, I have had both batteries tested and they came back over 80% but needed charged. My alternator puts out between 13.5-14.1 volts when running so something is draining the charge in the batteries when it sits. I had put in an IPOD interface awhile back so I removed that to see if it was doing something with no luck, I have checked for lights and I can't find anything on, do you guys have any other suggestions?

Thanks

Leon

The truck will use a small amount even when sitting due to the computers.
