After looking at the schematic for the Vans RV12 you may have a blown fuse or circuit breaker labeled generator it is 30A and if it is open the battery will discharge as you describe. It is in the AV 6000-Power module section of the schematic. Hope this helps.

It does help, because it gives me hope. I’ll check the fuse tomorrow. Thanks.

I just got back from the airport. The 30A generator fuse is good. It passed the visual inspection test, and multimeter tests for Continuity and Resistance.
But, my problem may indeed have been caused by a blown fuse, just as you suggested. The suspected fuse (suggested by another RV-12 owner) is hidden and soldered inside the Van's "Power & Switch Module." I can't imagine why Van's would have put a fuse there, but I'm advised that it has, so that's what I'll check next. Naturally, the Power & Switch Module has to come out of the plane, and then be opened, in order to test the fuse. But hey, it'll be a learning experience. Thanks a lot for your help.
