Do you have your unit wired with an external on/off switch...when you turn your unit off the GPS puck stays active unless you have an external switch. It will drain your battery. I have my LCX-27 connected to it's own battery and charge it twice maybe three times a year and i fish 2-3 days a week. The unit uses very little power but if you don't have an external switch wired it will drain your battery. You can prove the battery drain...when you turn your unit on does your GPS aquire your location right away? If it does then you know the puck is staying active even though you turned the unit off. It should take at least 30 seconds or more.
