What kind of keyed relay are you using?

• Stinger SGP38 80-AMP Battery Isolator and Relay

Fuse block?

Yes,
Blue Sea Systems ST Blade ATO/ATC Fuse Block

Here is my set-up if this helps. I know you can't see to much but this is what I have on my computer.

Start with the battery. If it checks out. Check amp draw on circuit from isolator.

I would say bad battery but like everyone said if you have a volt meter have it running and check the battery voltage and see if they both get proper voltage if not bad isolator if so bad battery

Thanks I'll have to check it tomorrow or Friday. I'll keep everyone updated. And thanks to all for all the assistance.

If that amp has a parasitic draw, it'll kill that battery PDQ.

Have you measured the amps on it when it's not triggered to power up?

I had the same relay on mine for about 2 weeks before it went bad. It wasn't closing all the way and I didn't realize it until I put in the secondary volt gauge, with the key off the gauge was so dim you couldn't see it unless it was dark and it was showing like 3.1 volts. I ordered another one and it has been running fine for a couple of months now with no more issues. My second battery kept going dead as well.

We're you able to check it if so what did you find

 

[wyodlr]

I know several people who have changed from the stinger isolator to the true isolator for that very reason

 

[ohiohunter]

Finally got a chance last night. It was my battery isolator. Got the battery charged back up, so lucky it wasn't bad as well. Thanks for all the help everyone.

Well here we go again. True battery isolator is dead again, drained my 2nd battery down and not letting it charge, blue light is on when running machine, but not letting battery charge. Any ideas on why it keeps going bad? This will be the 2nd one I've replaced in 4 months. Are they just junk?

That happened to me too. One of the nuts became loose. But for me it allowed water to enter and killed the whole thing. Now I make sure it stays tight and haven’t had an issue with either mine or my fathers p1000

What accessories are you running? I see you say you have an isolator and a a fuse box-

Do you have a master switch to cut off all your accessories? You could have an accessory that is constantly drawing power from your 2nd battery when parked.

I have all my accessories keyed. So I wouldn't think it would draw it down. Unless my amp so how keeps pulling juice from the battery.

Do you have your accessories individually fused? If so start pulling fuses one at a time and look for a spark at the fuse, the ones that spark are the culprit with all accessories off.

I had an amp that did that on my boat. The remote wire didn’t do s***, amp was on all the time.

They thing is last time it went dead was when I was riding for like 8 hours that day and 2nd battery died. The isolator was not letting secound battery charge.
