It starts really rough, takes a few seconds to turn over, but I just put a new battery in it yesterday and today the battery is completely flat.

you will have to check for a parasitic draw causing this. it can be anything if pulling fuses does not find the circuit causing the problem unplug the ABS unit see link.
