The DC-DC power supplies used in these applications usually connect to an accessory wire of sorts so it is only on when your switch is on.
Other than that I would have to know exactly how you wired it. It sounds like its drawing power 24/7 and it shouldn't.

I agree with Heavy: sounds like your'e drawing power even when the car is off. Where exactly did you wire it?
Original battery? what year is the car?
