    While I don't know why that's happening. A quick fix would be to remove the battery at night (unless of course the problem is your battery). You could even remove the battery during normal use if you use the power cord.

    isn't that supposed to be normal? doesn't the battery discharge slowly?

    That is completely normal behavior for current battery technology.

    I would recommend taking it out and if you don't intend on going anywhere immediately, store it in a cool place and just leave it out until necessary.
