I suppose you were using the original 4 light meter for checking the capacity. You can't really tell much truth with that.
Sounds like all the slide equipment was working okay, since it worked when you connected truck power.
Question is, why was your power level so low after only one day of dry camping. Did you consume a lot of power? Is your converter doing a good job of charging? When had you last connected to power for the charger to work?
We dry camp a lot and have never run into this before. Since we were out in the middle of nowhere, I was more concerned about getting the slides in than diagnosing, so I did not put a volt meter on it. But now the batts are fully charged, so I know the converter is charging just fine.
And yes, I know the dummy lights are just that, but they have worked well for me to gauge things in the past, so I know they are not the problem.
If I had a bad cell in one of the batteries, would that cause something like this?
