Either a short in the battery or the switch is faulty.
Disconnect it when you put it away and see what its like.

+1 Voo.
Ensure you disconnect.
If it's still doing this, then remove it, charge it up, and check at, say 6-hourly intervals - shouldn't be much change if ANY, with no load.

Sounds to me like a dodgy battery or dodgy charger. Even if it was left switched on over night I would expect there to be something in it in the morning with a 4200mah cos its not exactly doing a lot. Mine is 4100mah and I can leave it weeks in between bashing and there is still enough to move the servos. What charger are you using btw? Do you have a different battery you can try with it or maybe borrow a mates charger?

update on battery's.
the one i left in car has not lost any charge the one i removed has lost some charge but not totally flat.
i found that when i removed the battery that kept going flat the red wire on the charge lead had folded in half when the lid was put on so i think thats were the problem was.
