Is the top light on the display a “C” as in charge?
There's nothing like that on the monitor.
Based on this thread I'll reconnect the freshly charged batteries and let it ride for now. I've already installed solar panels on the roof, and I'm waiting for battery cells to arrive. The end state will be a big 48 volt battery. From that I'll get a new, separate DC-DC converter to produce 12 volts, which I'll run to the DC fuse panel.
Thanks for the input guys.
Don't forget to jumper the pos battery lugs on that 6300 DC fuse panel so the new converter can run all the circuits. Right now it is a "split panel" so you have to jumper it.
Edit--if all you do is run the new DC-DC to the battery lugs and never mind the converter connections you don't need to jumper the fuse panel. Assumes the Dc-Dc has clean DC like a modern converter has.
Don't say what the complete new set-up will be, but sounds like LFP cells at 48v for the house batts. Solar charging for them, but still need a 120v- 48v charger for when on shore power or generator off-grid and not enough solar to keep up. Also a 48v inverter. Also a way to still have the house supply the engine if the engine batt is too low. That 48-12 converter will interesting to wire up! What about alternator charging of the house with them at 48v? Need another DC-DC going 12-48.
For now, there is still keeping the recharged house battery charged with no input from the 6300. Portable 12v charger would do it if solar not keeping up. Once the 48v is in, no role for the 6300 converter "lower portion"
I agree with above that staying 12v for the house would be a lot simpler for an RV set-up.
