Well we have a pair of Interstate SRM27 batteries and only had a single before SRM27 before and it would run our furnace overnight, but just barely. With two in parallel we still have plenty of juice in the morning.
If nothing else have a mobile service come out and install your disconnect so it totally disconnects the batteries.
