Interior coach lights dim and flicker ???

What would cause the house lights to flicker and be very dim my house battery connection was loose I tightened the terminal and it was fine for one day now it's dim again I'm confused :h any ideas
  • If you have 6 volt batteries, check the voltage at each battery. If they are both near the same, put a battery charger on them. 10 volts is virtually a dead battery. If you leave them in this state, they will sulfate, and loose some reserve. If they come up in voltage, the converter is bad, as stated before, and needs to be replaced. Converters do not last forever, or even close. I have found that "PowerMax" is about the most dependable brand right now. I have used and tried most of the other brands, but this one seems to be about the most durable.
  • At 10V, I would disconnect that battery right away. It may have a shorted cell or the converter has already died!
  • I am plugged into shore power and they are still dim forgot to mention that

    That's what I was thinking just wanted other thoughts
