Xantrex RS3000 low battery warn

Have a 2008 Xantrex RS3000 inverter system. Noticed the yellow low battery warn lite on a week ago or so.All is well as far as the systems and batterys are concerned so thinking its a bad Invertor/converter sensor??
  • The Manual states when that light is on the battery voltage is low. How do you know what your voltage is? Have you checked the voltage where the cables connect to the Inverter? You could have an issue with cables or connections.

    If you check and find the voltage is correct how about calling Xantrex. Most of the companies will walk you through troubleshooting.

    yes sir Iam well aware of what the manual says. Battery voltages are just fine.thanks for the post reply
  • well Xantrex called me and he says in his opinion
    its a weak(bad) LED lite is all and not to worry. so all is well
  • May be accurate, BUT (ya, large BUT) you need to verify by checking voltage at the batteries both before and after plugging in.

    A digital voltmeter is your friend. A "must have" on any RV. Prices start under $20.

    What does the Fresh water, holding tanks, battery monitor say? If it says low, the battery is low, if not all is good.
  • I'd pull the batteries and put them on a battery desulphator. There can honestly be a number of things causing this. Any other oddball indicators?
