yes it was fully charged it has been doing it for the last 12 months i was thinking of running dual battries to see if i could get more time before it drained but i need ideas on how to fit dual battries as there is not much room for two under the hood

I would find out what is wrong before going with dual batteries. I had my radio on for 2-3 hours today and it started just fine. Something is not right.

Edit: You could try hooking up to another battery with jumper cables just out of curiosity. My guess is that you would still only get about 45 min. to an hour out of it, which isn't right.
