Default battery drain

Well it appears i have a battery drain somewhere on my buggy have not been able to find it yet. I was thinking I would just put a kill switch on the positive battery connector any thoughts on this?

How old is the battery? Does the battery hold its volts when disconnected and fully charged or slowly decrease ?

brand new battery just installed when I rebuilt the motor less than a month ago. The old battery used to get drained as well before I started modding the buggy as well.
