Are you sure that it is wired up correctly and the radio is functioning OK? Generally an appliance will draw what it needs to function regardless of how much energy is available. Radios do not draw much current when operating so it sounds like there is something not right in the circuit to me, Rlyyoung.

I just thought (stupid question) but are the batteries wired up in parallel?
