So you have an internal voltage regulator? I'd look at my battery cables, grounds and any fusible links between the alternator and the batteries as well. On my truck if I so much as look at my terminals the wrong way it will short out my battery and cause it to drain within the blink of an eye it's also an 8 year old battery
