2013 Toyota Land Cruiser 138,000 miles parasitic drain

A month ago, the  LC failed to start after sitting for only a few days. Jumped it, took it to dealer, they replaced the 8 month old battery (warranty). Vehicle has been fine until it sat for 3 days and failed to start once again. Jumped it, drove for 45 min. That was yesterday. Failed to start again today. At first occurrence, I asked dealer to check charging system. They said it was “fine”, but battery was toast. I believe there is a drain somewhere in the system. How do I solve the issue w/o initiating an endless goose chase to correct the problem? Thanks, Scotty. Big fan of your informative (and entertaining!) videos! JB

Could be the alternator and not necessarily a drain?

Kaizen, that was my thought initially. At first occurrence when the battery was replaced, the dealer (normally pretty reliable) stated that the alternator checked out ok. Who knows if they actually tested it, though? Thanks! Time to get a definite test.
