A correctly installed alarm and or R/S CAN'T drain your battery.
A drop test with a DMM before and after removing either alarm would have lead you to the problem.
As the other poster said make and model of vehicle?
I'm also wondering how old the battery is.

P.S. At the moment Compustar is probably the best product out there.

Spot on young Tommy, OP look at my Security and Convenience Forum sticky on just that, hence my bad wiring comment.
86 on that relay goes to Ign 1 (live on crank) and NOWHERE else.

Read my sticky post in the car security hot topics section, "immobiliser/starter cuts and battery drain".
TEST How do you know you don't have a faulty door, trunk hood trigger switch somewhere?
Does the battery drain if you pull the alarm fuses?
I've been in this business over 40 years and I've NEVER found a faulty alarm to be the cause.

Replace each Compustar fuse, 1 at a time and meter the draw.
You're going to hate me but you've done something wrong on install, something needing an ignition feed has been given a constant.
Are you testing draw currents? I don't think so your answers are too pat.
