It does seem that you have a more serious problem than just a flat battery.

Ordered a regulator from Wemoto last night SF can,t afford a new battery for evey run out one good thing came from it called in on a bike shop in Limoges (DAFFY MOTO) yep its a real place and got a new battery for 47 euros thats half price over here

Had the same 3 weeks ago, brand new battery, lasted the weekend then died. Took it back, they tested over night and said it was a knackered cell, rare on new batteries but can occasionaly happen. They got me a new one, put it on, spent weekend touring Wales, lots of starting and stopping, battery fine. I feared the regulator a amoungst other things, like had I wired bike wrong and was shoting out somewhere etc etc but pleased to say was just a duff en. Try getting battery checked out before parting with more money!
