Hank,

Take your battery out and put it on a trickle charger. See if that fixes the issue for a while - till it goes dead again maybe. If it does go dead after a while then you've got an issue with your charging.

Also, those ground connection issues seem to keep popping up with posters. Check em out and make sure they are clean and tight.
