Hydrolics w/o Battery

Hi
While we were sitting for the last 2 months we had one battery go bad right away, (it cooked itself) so we disconnected the battery by using the button option. Well we had some very windy days during the 2 months, so we pulled in two of the 3 slides. We noticed the second time when we did so that the slides moved very slow. When we went to hitch up and pull out we were hooked up to shore power but could hardly get the hydrolics to work. Even with the Battery button now in the on position. The front hydrolic jacks only moved about 1 inch at a time and stopped. I would have to wait about 30 seconds and then hit the button again. We weren't sure if we were having hydrolic problems or if the Battery was playing a role in the problem. Well after getting to our next destination we found out that it was the battery. You have to have the Battery. It seems odd that the hydrolics don't work strictly off the shore power, unless it is wired wrong? We are not electricians. Has anyone else ever have this experience?
