After a while the when I turn off the battery it will die and I have to jump start it. Can you tell me what the problem may be? Sometime the battery dies in just two or three days.

Have the battery checked for condition including load test. It may have a dead cell or there may be a parasitic draw on it. Most places check for free for battery condition.
