The first thing that comes to mind is circuit leakage. There is something in the circuit that is not disconnected when the circuit switch is turned off. This can be checked by placing a DC amp meter in series with the circuit directly at the battery terminal post. Operate the circuit and make note of the current flow. Now shut the circuit off at the switch and see if you get a reduced reading. If there is a reduced reading then there is something else connected to the circuit ahead of the switch. Batteries will also discharge when stored on a concrete floor. Always store batteries that are not in use on a wooden shelf or if they need to be on the floor make sure that you use a 2" piece of blue high density builders Styrofoam to place the battery on.
