Default Battery being drained by something

Hey y'all, I have a new battery in my jeep that i bought back in december. I forgot what kind it is, it's at home right now and I'm still at college. But it I had a problem with it holding a charge and i went to start it one day and it wasn't working. I got it recharged and i havent had a problem with it since but I'm afraid it may happen again. So I'm not sure what could be draining it. I have a LED light bar and extra interior lighting. Maybe the battery cables are shot? Im not sure, i don't know anything about wiring or electrical things. Any advice would be great. thanks.
