No, a bad ground will not drain the battery. A dead cell in the battery will most certainly drain it. If it has a dead cell it must be replaced. Also any light that is on will drain it. Lastly a stuck relay will run it down.

Some cars make the battery wildly inaccessible. but if it is in plain sight all you need to do is disconnect the terminals (ground first) remove battery hold down clamp. remove battery.
