c230k - battery keeps dying

I have replaced the battery in this car 4x in 6 months. I have had light sensor error pop up a few times. Everytime the car is dead and i jump it i have the light sensor error on. Anyone have any idea what is up with this? All my headlights, blinkers, indicators everything is working yet the battery will drain itself from healthy to dead in under 24 hours.

Search: You will find lots of errors that occur when the battery is low/dead. Likely suspects: your seat control modules. Unplug them and let the car sit at home.

C230 2.3 Manual Coupe
You have to drive it at least once a week. I had to push mine to the garage a few days ago when the car won't start and just blocking the driveway. After 24 hours of charging it's good again. The battery is an 850 CCA from Walmart, bought 6 months ago. It's my 3rd battery.

^^^ My dealer replaced the seat control modules under warranty.
