Grounding the plus side of the battery however... breaker suffers... if yer wired with all [including the Voltage regulator] fed thru the main breaker...

Glad you resolved your problem....not a poor ground but a ground fault or short to ground. You may want to check your charging system too i.e. rectifier and breaker
