Batteries don't charge
Let the two house batteries get down to 3.92 volts. Yes, I got stupid, but on with the story. Serviced them but now they won't charge from converter. Voltage from converter is 13.45. Across battery...

Disconnected bats and now on external charger. Will wait and see. Using large roll away with gauges. Currently charging at about 18 amps.
On edit: after 45 min, now up to 20 amp charging rate. This is in low setting. Medium setting takes it to 39 amps.
These threads can get out of hand-and people don't read every post-what you suggest above sounds like a good plan-I've had similar experiences and you need to tackle both issues-why the batteries are dead, and charging them back up! My experience has been to top off the batteries with distilled water and then charge at the lowest rate possible-ideally for a few days-let them sit and rest and then charge again and then hit them with a good high rate charge after they've settled for a few days and are maintaining there charge. I takes the plates some time to 'remember' their job, hopefully there not toast and if they were just drawn down and not that old you'll be ok.
Just to confirm-and I'm being super simple minded-you have 12V batts and not 6s right?
