Rhino eats batteries

I don't know about anyone else but my Rhino really chews through batteries. Seems annually.

I did put a bunch of lights and a winch on it and I thought something was up there. I disconnected the winch, no difference. I disconnected all the accessory lighting, still won't hold a charge. First I figured it was the typical junk stock battery. I've tried a Walmart (Everstart) battery, an off-brand battery. Same result.....and yes, I'm following factory initial soak time and first charge instructions with the correct amp charger.

I don't ride it a lot and I thought maybe the cold was getting to it but my other rolling stock seems to be ok, most of the time. I guess I'll have check for amp draw.

Any "shoot from the hip" guesses?
