Then it has to be a current issue then!Measure the voltage drop of the battery when in atable.
I'm a bit confused... The 555 timer is capable of activating the coils but NOT turning them off... There is enough power: voltage for sure, and current I'm assuming there is enough because the coils do activate.
It doesn't turn off. Instead it drops to something around 3 volts and you hear a faint buzzing sound from the relay as if it really wants to turn off but cannot...
