Battery advice

Hi all,

I mostly take photos of mountain biking for work, I am a bike guide, the photos are usually of customers mostly used for social media. A good friend has given me a D2Hs to try, I was using a Pentax K30, I love the Nikon and I am converted but I have a problem with the battery life. It had a nikon battery that shows up as nearly new in the menu info, I can use it to take hundreds of photos in a day but it will always go flat overnight from a full charge even if I don't take any photos. I bought a new battery which is doing the same thing and I've updated the firmware. I have done a little research which points to the power circuit board being the problem. Has any had any experience of this with a D2Hs or any other Nikon? Any idea where I could get spares for it and how easy it would be to swap out the boards. I am pretty handy at repairing things and I really don't want to give up on this body (although I am already eyeing up D3 bodies on eBay)
I'd really appreciate any feedback at all.
