Welcome to HEF Dustin! Lots of good CAT guys here and they will be along shortly to help out. They will need a serial number so please supply one.

I'd check all connections, and double check the battery with a load tester, even new batteries, can be bad, right outta the box...

Check the battery cables as well. They will deteriorate over time.

What ended up being your problem? I’ve got the same thing going on.

Use battery disconnect, if the issue persists load test battery. If not; look for a light staying on or something not fully shutting down.
