Paul,
  Again I may be late with this reply......(out of town = using=20 borrowed computer) !
Are you by any chance pulling starter load through the 70 amp = fuse ?? If=20 my
memory does not fail me the battery should be connected directly = to the=20 starter
and the 70 amp fuse is wired from alternator output to B+ bus bar = (or=20 Battery)
depending on how your electrical system is = wired......FWIW
