How long does it take before the battery goes dead after you last drive it? Do you have a meter to check the voltage? Are you sure the battery is actually going dead and you don't have a bad starter/solenoid?

Starter is fine have went through two new batteries it won't start after sitting more than ten hours. Had to install a kill switch just so I don't ruin another battery till we figure out what's draining it.
