Hello,
So just to clarify, the battery goes dead if you leave it overnight?
When the battery loses its charge in the morning you could have a voltage drain in the electrical system which is called a parasitic draw.
I have attached a step by step guide on how to find the parasitic draw and what to do to fit it.
