Replacing the two 6v batteries (220 amps) with one 12v battery (65 to 85 amps) is going to be a mistake. One 12 volt battery will need more time to fully recharge than the 6v pair of batteries.
It sounds like you have not kept the battery on shore-power long enough to fully recharge (24 to 48 hours). Have you used the "disconnect" switch to make sure the battery when fully charged does not lose charge due to detectors, CPUs in equipment, etc. drawing current while stored.
Having a smaller battery-bank can easily deplete the battery if you forget to disconnect when stored. If leaving plugged in all the time, be prepared to check the battery cells for lost fluid.
