Smile Electric - is it draining

The 300E sits in the parking lot all week.

Seems when I get there on Friday, the battery is dead. The battery is new and the alternator has been replaced. As a matter of fact the battery was recharged by the time I got home.

So I'm thinking there's a "small electric leak (drain)" occurring.

Suggestions for chasing down the "short" is appreciated.

Your suggested work around is also appreciated. (I've considered removing the battery)

thanks again
