I have a draw what to do??

[desinor at sympatico.ca (Jean-Claude Désinor)]

  By "loose wires", do you mean they are not connected to anything?
  Current circulates in a loop: if it gets out to some device, it needs 
another wire or path to go back in (sort of). So if the wire just hangs 
there and is not connected to anything, it cannot drain the battery.
  If you disconnect the battery overnight, completely, is it discharged 
in the morning?
