Why is my battery dying within 24-48hrs? In the beginning my cameras lasted atleast 6-8 weeks prior to needing a charge, now one of them is lasting 1-2 days. I'm not sure how to fix it.

It may be due to the sun's angle causing its strong IR to be reflected from leaves, branches, cars, etc. If you have activity zones set up, try removing them on that camera so you can see the actual amount of recordings the camera is making. Add up the recording time per day to see whether it's more than 5 minutes per day. You may need to reposition the camera to eliminate anything that may be doing the reflection and/or reduce the motion sensitivity in your modes and rules.
