I second this option. First thing to find out is the condition of the batteries.

Some bad cells can cause all kinds of odd behavior. They seem to hold a charge unders some conditions then loose the charge way too fast.

First rule of troubleshooting. Don't go first to the exotic problems, rule out the mundane first.

I have taken my batteries to the nearest NAPPA store and let them charge and load test them.
They can tell you their exact condition.
