The good battery that is charged to the max. voltage will lose voltage even with the switch off because it is trying to charge the low voltage bad battery.
Both batteries are wired in parallel so if you want to saved the good battery from losing voltage disconnect the positive terminal from the bad battery until you get a replacement.

It is possible the bad battery has a corroded terminal and not charging properly, cleaning the terminals with a wire brush and charge both batteries, see what happens.
