if your battery is dieing i can only think of a few things
1.you leave your key on in the machine and runs battery down
2.a mod of some type may be hooked up incorrectly
3. or electrical unit is shot and is requesting unneeded power.

could be just about anything though with the electrical system maybe a short in your battery cables even???
