I connected the battery to the unit, powered it up and let it run continuously to see how long the battery would last. I ran it for 4hrs last night and another 4-5 this morning and it finally went dead. However, when I connected the battery to the charger it popped the 3amp fuse about 5minutes into the charge, I replaced the fuse with another 3am and that one also popped in about the same amount of time. Not wanting to just bypass the fuse I popped in a 5amp fuse and it starting charging without popping the fuse.

I've had a 3amp in-line fuse since I bought the battery and have never had this issue, as a matter of fact this is the first time I've ever drained the battery. Any idea what might be causing this?
