    Dead Battery

    My Dynamax DX3 sat for 2 weeks and I forgot to flip the kill switch and my chassis batteries are dead dead after just 2 weeks! What is running in the background on the chassis that would cause that to happen so quickly? Can't start the rig with a 1200A jumpstarter. Are the batteries toast? Thanks
