Are both battery's the same?? I mean exact!! If you have a deep cyc and a regular, or size 2 and a size 6 (just example) the bigger battery could suck down the smaller battery or the other way around.
When you go home do you leave the switch on? If so this will also cause the more needy battery to take from the better battery. I have start battery by its self, all eletr on the 2nd battery.ride out or in it is set for all to charge them, when fishing for long times with the motor off I switch to one so the other stays good for starting. about once a month I hit it with the charger and I have had no problems, even when using the live well all day.

battery
well I havent been turning that switch to off when im done with the boat for the day I will do that from now on. I left it on (battery 1) the other day and 3 days later thats when my smaller battery (battery 2)was almost dead ....good info ! My main battery (battery 1) for starting has always stayed charged havent had to hit that with the charger yet. So i should turn my switch off at the end of the day and go from there...... thanks.... hopefully tomorrow when i take it out i will get a charge to the 2nd battery from the motor and my voltmeter will read something! will see....

it sounds like the only battery getting charged is the one, or your battery just may have died from lack of charge, age or chemical imbalance. Test meter it after charging it up off a a/c charger if possible and see what it does.
