New 2nd generation square reader dead battery within days of fully charging without using it

[SoccerBooster]

I fully charge the square reader to get it ready for the next time I need it (we use it for concessions).  I pull it out on the day we need it and it's completely dead.  I have to charge it for hours.  Huge mistake to not put a power button on the device - how do I make the battery stop going dead between charging it and the next time I need it?

I leave mine Plugged in until I am ready to leave for where I need it.  As you mentioned there is no power button so it will keep looking for a device to connect through bluetooth to.  The other option is to get a Battery pack that can Charge the Reader at you consession stand.  Or you could plug it in a your stand to be always ready.

Here is what I am referring to as a Battery Pack :
