I guess I was being too impatient.
I thought the problem was operator error, but I was wrong! After 1 day it drained another battery. That is 3 batteries in 1 week! At this point, I figured the controller was defective. New controller was installed today and it works like it should!

Thanks to everyone who helped me troubleshoot.
