When this circuit is on it draws the battery down an will drain it. This happens even when hooked to shore power.
:H
You state you don't have an inverter but you also say this happens when hooked to shore power.......
IF that GFI has 120V AC power when you aren't connected to AC power source then it HAS to be powered by an inverter drawing from battery.
The inverter draw on a battery can draw the 12V DC voltage down fairly quickly when using high amp items.
And when on AC power source the converter maybe failing and can't keep up with the drain on battery and battery is probably shot from excessive low voltages (Can be charged OK but doesn't hold a charge)
But an AC GFI Circuit would not draw a battery down UNLESS it is feed via an inverter tied to battery.........two separate system AC & DC
