We took possession of our 2nd new 2013 3260 Elite last Thursday (Long Story) and arrived home last Friday. I went out to the rig three days later and the batteries were dead. Check for battery fluid and they were both down about 20%. Filled them both back up and plug the unit into shore power at home. Charged them for about 30 hours and then unplug the unit. Went out this morning to open the slides and yep you guessed it, both batteries were dead again. Called Heartland rep and he said the batteries will only last about three days, even with no use? He said the residual draw down from the radio in the basement, even though it is off, and the warning systems in the unit will stay on even if the main switch to batteries is turned to the off position. I did not have this problem with our old 2004 Cardinal? Anyone having similar problems and how did you resolve it? The two 6V Batteries appear to be wired correctly, ie: in series (one lead to positive side of first battery and connected to the negative side in the second battery - first battery negative side (white wire) connected to the rig (bank of connections) and the second battery positive side (red wire) connected to the rig (two connections). The rig works fine hooked up to shore power. Thanks - Mike
