Popped 2nd Shorai Battery in 200 miles. Need electrical help

I've been putting miles on the CA95 I rebuilt for the past few months now, dialing everything in. I'm up to about 200 miles and have popped 2 brand new Shorai Lithium 6V batteries.

Could someone help me diagnose this issue? I'm not an electrical guru and need to get this sorted for a client asap ...
