I would say really you would want to know what voltage it was showing when you parked up to give you an idea of what it’s lost in the 24 hrs.

Then I would be doing a ‘drop test’ on the battery to check its load capacity is ok - just because it’s showing normal (or close to normal) voltage it doesn’t mean it’s any good.

Along with properly checking the battery capacity, I’d do an earth leakage test to make sure you have no residual current drain in the circuit.

If the above don’t show anything untoward then personally I would go back through the connections and also get a meter to check out the Alternator and RR measurements.
