battery going dead

My first annoying little problem with the sj. If I leave the car say a week without starting it the battery is dead it is a brand new battery so I know that is not the issue. I tested the current it draws when turned off and it was showing 0.18 amps now to me that doesn't seem a lot but could this be my cause?? Cheers

this will definitely be the cause, as 0.18 amps 24 hours a day adds up to a lot of power used up. see if you can go through the fuse box with an ammeter, to single it out to a particular circuit. might also pay to disconnect the dim dip unit, as these are known to cause a lot of trouble, and the car works fine without it
