Matt, here is a internal link to another post with the same problem as yours, along with the same procedure to isolate the cause.

It explains how to use a test light while pulling fuses one at a time.

There is a fairly easy way to diagnose this. Remove 1 battery terminal and either put a digital amp meter in series, or place a 12V test light in series with the removed battery wire. Remove 1 fuse at a time until the light goes out or the amp meter drops off. That will isolate it to which circuit it is. Personally I would remove the plug from the alternator over night and see if the battery is dead the next day...have seen this before.
