For some reason my celica always seems to drain my battery when I park it and dont use it overnight. After a jump it fires right up and have no further issues. What I have done when its completely dead I jump start it, drive it for like an hour and let the alternator charge the battery up. When I go to park it overnight, I remove the main 60A fuse in the engine bay and leave it like that. The next day It fires right up no problems, but if I leave the fuse in place next morning, starter just starts clikkkin, cant even crank the car. I have looked for something thats draining the power but cant find anything, I dont even have a stereo in place. Any help appreicated.

It doesn't sound like a battery but a parasitic drain. Do you have a dvom? If so you have to go through and pull every fuse while monitoring the amps being drawn until you isolate the problem. You could get a battery capacity test done but from what you have described you will be wasting money on a new battery.
