Two yo battery is drained quickly with the pump? Either it is not charged or the battery is shot. First focus on your care, maintenance, charging and usage to discover how you killed a battery in two years. It is just as easy to kill multiple batteries.
Lead acid likes to stay at 100% charged when ever possible. Especially in storage.
During use you should try not to go much below 50% discharged and especially not below 80% discharged.
Charging the battery should have voltage up close to 14.2 to 14.8 for a few hours. In storage 13.2 to 13.5 is best.
You might benefit from an upgraded converter. Otherwise try to express what can be improved or what may have happened to kill the existing battery.
All the above is great once you have figured out the issues.
