Default 2006 RX400h replaced traditional battery and days later not starting

Hello,
Last week Wed my vehicle was not starting. Some lights would start to come on and then die out. I read the forums here and replaced the traditional battery. Perfect, started right up and no issues. Today, went to bring the kids to school and it did not start up. No messages, a few lights like before and it went dark. Is this an engine issue. I have not tried to jump the new battery yet as it is pulled forward in my garage and no one here to help currently. (Today being Tuesday and not even a week into my new battery). I looked around, nothing was left on so no idea wbat is happening. It has just short of 80,000 miles on it.
Thanks for any help.

Even one overhead interior lamp, or the cargo lamps can drain the battery...check them carefully. I replaced all lamps with LED replacements to reduce the potential current drain if wife forgets these.

Do you think I should take everything off auto mode would be of any benefit. I have looked over all lights....no clue what could be draining the battery or if there is some other issue.
