Battery Drain?

Since buying the car 3 months ago I've had it on a trickle charger. Noticed after a drive last Sunday, the charger won't charge the battery up now. Normally it reaches 14.5v then changes to maintenance mode, but now it stops at 12.4 v.

I can't see any obvious drains e.g. lights on, or alarm as I've left it unlocked.

Any ideas how to check other culprits, like the tracker? Bit hopeless with cars. Any fuses I should check.

Even with a drain, the battery should at least make full charge.

I would get the battery tested or buy a new one and then gets off any drain.
