The "battery resting" you observe is the 30, 40, 50 amp self resetting circuit breaker quitting on you. Replace the breaker (80 amp is best) and the problem will go away. Do a "search" here with the term "self resetting breaker" and you should find 100's of posts on the subject.
Listen to this Carl as usual got it right again.
