Batteries need to be charged. I have found out that any vehicle if you leave the battery or batteries connected, they will go dead on you. Best thing is to use some kind of trickle charging whether it is solar or just a smart charger hooked up to the batteries. Once they go dead, bottom out, you have to replace them. I keep mine hooked up to a 15 amp house plug all the time and my inverter/charger floats once it reaches accordingly. But to stop any kind of parasite draws, just turn the big two toggle switches off on the compartment next to the batteries and there will be no draw then.
