One thing to remember is that when you use the emergency start switch it does not immediately charge the depleted batteries. It takes some time for the charge to transfer.

Unfortunately, the batteries weren't charging. Not under engine power, not under SP, and with no generator, not that either. The ONLY thing that worked was the old-fashioned battery charger, plugged into AC. Once that got it charged up, everything worked as it should and the batteries are still above 12.5 after sitting with nothing on them for 48 hours.
