Default Predator Battery--Losing charge

Why dose my Predator battery keep losing Its charge and has anyone had ths problem.

Here is the run down,,,,I'll ride on the weekend with No problems,but after the work week is over I have to charge the battery for the weekend. The dam thing last over the weekend but not though the week. I do have over 250 hours on this quad and I was told that is the life of the battery(sounds like bull to me)
I couldn't find any frade wires rubbing on the frame or anything that might cause a drain.I used electrica grease on all the plugs.I don't get this.My scrammy is still on it first battery and it is a 2000 .



One last thing--I will be gone most of the summer,as I wil be working Off Shore on the research vessal ATLANTIC SURVEYOR-- I'm the engineer on board. we will be doing ocean floor mapping for future charts. the work willall be off the coast Of New Jersey by Atlantic City.It is 180 day job.MONEY IN THE BANK!!!! the predator will be retarted fast when the job is over.

Thank you all--I'll be popping in from time to time Now.

Your battery is toast. I wouldn't even think it would last 250 hours

have you checked the water in the battery, because if you havent and it is dry, the battery is junk.
