I have a true isolator and odessey aux battery on mine, but neither drain like that.
A battery tender might be a good solution. I added a port in the dash of mine for connecting to one periodically.

I asume you are talking the main battery. When did the battery start going dead?. I have to ask are you sure the isolater is hooked up properly. I don't the battery would be bad after 2yrs what you can do is charge up the battery, then unhook the pos terminal, let it set,if the battery goes dead then it's the battery. More than likely you have a draw or short in the wireing, causing it to drain the battery. Make sure you have everything turned off. Unhook the pos wire, then touch/swipe the wire to the battery terminal, see if you can get a spark, if it sparks you have a draw. If you have a multi meter turn it to amps setting, unhook pos wire, use multimeter between pos teminal, and wire, it should show if it's drawing any power, it should be zero. If it's is drawing power you have a short some where.

Adding to what some guy said.
If something is drawing power disconnect your all custom wiring. Hopefully thats just one or 2 wires. Check for power drain.
Then hook up the isolator and second battery with no accessories. Check for power drain.
Hopefully its something you did then you can start to isolate the problem one at a time.
Something small like an LED on switch could suck 25 AH over a couple of weeks.

I have the same problem with the 2nd battery going dead. I keep buying new true isolator. And it fixes the problem for about 4 months at a time and have to buy another one.
