LS, If the Cutout relay is sticking/staying closed after shut down that will run the battery down VERY FAST plus the genny can get hot and the ammeter would swing over to a heavy - discharge. If the belt were loose the genny would sit there n spin like a DC Motor (thats what it is). If she shows a high discharge upon shutdown remove a wire on the relay n see if that stops it?? If so shes not opening on shutdown as its supposed to.
NO you shouldnt have to disconenct the battery at shut down, the relay is supposed to open so the batetry cant sit there n reverse discharge via the genny.
If the relay isnt the cause of battery discharge then there must be another short somewhere assuming the battery itslef is okay and not self discharging. If it stays up disconnected but runs down otherwise then it must be a short either the bad relay or another more minor discharge.
Some cutouts are solid state diodes and are polarity sensitive and need to be wired corect to work right.........
