All of my tests indicated it was OK, their test showed the cranking amps were only 150 and should have been 750 amps, I got a new battery as this one was under warranty.
As for a possible drain, I have never heard of one draining a battery this quickly, but if you can use a digital ammeter you can disconnect typically the negative lead on the battery and insert the meter and see if you have current flow. If you have a significant flow (above 200 ma ?) then you may need to start pulling fuses one at a time to see what is staying on.
IMHO, I really think you have a bad battery.

AGM batteries are supposed to last longer due to separation of plates with barrier and no liquid I would expect AGM better to last twice as long as lead acid battery or what’s point buying one?
“ An AGM battery will cost more than a regular lead-acid battery — but it'll last longer and save you money in the long run. They last longer than regular batteries. Because they don't have any liquid inside them, AGM batteries have fewer components to fail, so they last longer than traditional car batteries“ quoted ‘. Not my words theirs.
Warranty information two years? I’d I read it correctly IMO that joke for extra cost.
