Did you take the battery out of the car when you charged it or just connected the charger to the battery without disconnecting the cables?

Look at this chart. With your symptoms the wire harness is a common problem.

Then why would a new battery terminal fix this for one day?

Just updating this thread for those suffering from ill effects similar to this.]

Another call from Lexus today. It seems the passenger side ECU is to blame. After disconnecting it the battery drain went away. They ordered me a new ECU at $379 and are not going to charge me labor to install it.

Let's hope this is the real final fix.
