Battery Draining

So today my team has probably encountered one of the biggest problems ever. For some reason when we turn on the Crio and the driver station and all three indicator lights(Communication, Robot Code, and Joysticks) go green, the battery icon starts draining away slowly. On the driver station it would show the blue battery icon draining down until the point the driver station shows we have 0.00 Volts. We have checked all electrical wiring and have even checked the voltage in different stages of the whole electrical system. We have changed the battery so its not the problem. We thought it could of been a coding problem but when we deployed the FRC Labview default robot projet(code) we get the same problem once again the battery drains down in less than 6 seconds. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thxs
