Question: Battery keeps dying, something seems to stay on and drain it

Something is draining the battery dry. I go out to start my car and battery dead. After boosted, will run until battery is drained dry again. I have to run it for 1/2 during work hours so it starts when I go home. Its been check by several Chrysler Dealerships in BC as well as here in Edmonton, AB and a private mechanic. No one can find what is causing the battery to die. I have had it replaced 3 times because of it. I have smelled "electrical" smell, like something melting.
