Oxford Hot Grips are designed to be connected directly to the battery and if you leave them on by mistake, they will switch themselves off before the battery is flattened - IN THEORY! I tried it on mine a couple of years ago (on a different bike) and they didn't switch off until the battery was so low that it only just started the bike! So when I fitted a pair to my Fazer, I put them through an ignition-controlled supply (using a relay).
If your grips won't work with the engine not running, it suggests to me that your batteryt voltage is already low! Especially if it's the same when the engine is running. Put a voltmeter across your battery and let us know what the voltages are....
