Take the wattage of your PSU and divide it by 120, 120 representing 120 volts.
So say your PSU is 500 watts, so 500/120 is 4.16 amps.
Almost 5 amps constantly drawing from your battery will drain it quick.
Its like having your stereo at full tilt with the car off, the batter will die quick...
Its a whole different story if you just have a laptop charging, or your phone. But a legit PC running, yeah it uses some power, not an astronomical amount, but enough.
Solution: Buy a few more battery's, and have them wired up correctly to manage the power distribution.
Source: I work in IT at a large distribution company that runs millions of dollars worth of servers, talk about some power :)
