Constant battery drain??!!

Ok, here's the story. I went out today to start my 77 F-250 and it cranked once and died. I jump started it and pulled it into the garage and let it run for a while, shut it off and started it again, no problems. After I'm done working on it (approx 2 hours) the damn battery was dead again. Any idea what the hell is going on?

Thanks for the help. I figured out what it was though right after I posted. When I was out off-roading the battery came loose and ended up smashing a hole in the bottom of one of the cells and killed the battery. Oops.
