If the battery is draining while just sitting there it may be a fault with the main breaker, Anderson connector, or all of your chargers/batteries were exposed to the same damaging conditions.

We have tried just having it plugged into one thing at a time. We tried all this during the elimination rounds at Ramp Riot this year. We currently have one or two batteries that actually work. The 2010 battery we got is one of the worst ones. I don't remember exactly which battery works the best, but it was the only one consistently working for us.
