Hi all - I've had my '31 roadster for a couple of weeks now. All of a sudden, the battery is being depleted. I left the car in storage for a week and it was completely dead. I removed the battery, had it charged, reinstalled it, and it was fine. Went the next day to use the car, and it was dead again. The battery was said to be good and it took/held the charge from the charging station to the car, so I'm reluctant to say it's the battery itself, but I'm at a loss. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

I should add that I've never used the lights beyond a quick check to see that they work, and have only used the horn once or twice.
