Corey,
Thanks for the "fix", yes the diagnostic steps (in order) would be:
1) Check your programming and your chargers/ inverters are functioning properly
2) Make sure your battery terminals and cables are not loose and are clean
Then
3) Load test each battery disconnected for a weak cell, and replace the entire battery

PS.... trick for some.... most birders do not run wet cell batteries ,but if you do, a weak cell will "drink" water more often than the others! Wink

It will also "expel" acid and you can see it out of the caps and the area around the caps /tops wet.............

OK,OK time for "true confessions"......... I knew what cell was bad and for how long(6-8 months)...........was trying to push the equipment until I got home......came up a little short this time! :-) And yes the batteries were 18 months out of warranty so they were no youngsters!
