Battery cross connect relay clicking
When connected to shore power and the charge light is on, on the inverter control pannel. My cross connecrt relay clicks every few min, stayes engaged just a few seconds than dropes back out. I know i...

When you push (and hold) the "cross connect" switch, does the relay drop out after a few seconds or will it stay energized as long as you hold the switch closed? If it drops out during this procedure, it's probably a heat related problem with the relay coil and needs to be replaced.
If it holds, and doesn't drop out, then you know the problem is with the circuits/conditions that energize the relay or you converter voltage is dropping too low to keep the relay picked.
Check the output of your inverter/charger with a VOM. It should remain above 13.2 at all times when plugged in. Also, check your battery voltages after they have rested (not plugged in for awhile) They should retain a voltage above 12.4 or 12.6 for a very long time after charge voltage is removed. If they rop too fast, they are probably weak/bad
