Default RX 300 would not start after parked 24 hours

I had installed brand new Optima red top 34R few days ago. I replaced my 3 years old optima red top for above reason. But with the new one same thing. I checked it drain baterry about 50 ma. I have a link for starting the car here:
It happened when I parked my 2000 RX 300 more than 1/2 days. What could be the problems? Starter or 50ma drain is ok for this? Please let me know your ideas.

I ordered starter solenoid kits (like plunger, contacts, gasket, spring) from Sewell Lexus . I will try to replace them. Thanks for your responses.
