    O.K a little learning curve for me knowing nothing about electric matters it turns out that my twin battery setup is 12 Vt in-series running off the accessories side .This means when the back battery dies it creates a open circuit that drains the primary battery as soon as .My symptoms were main battery died after 15 min. then tested alternator and got a reading of 10.2 Vts .Step 1 new primary battery no good step 2 new Alternator still no good , the second battery was holding a open circuit ,maybe Yendor or a auto lecky could explain in a bit more detail but am grateful too my boys coming over and helping the Old Jumby out after 12 hr night shifts .
    U have 4 choices in life :U can like it; lump it; love it or shove it, take your pick and stick to it !
