Well, I have a multi meter and cant find any draws on the battery as of yet. obviously some thing is draining battery. But how do you check if the inverter/converter is draining the battery?
At least two people have suggested that your batteries are not being CHARGED anywhere near enough.
And now I make 3.
It is not "obvious" that something is draining the battery.
That is only one possibility.
There are several.
For instance, new batteries often come 50% charged or less.....and the alternator in the chassis or tow vehicle often doesn't really provide much charge when going down the road (sometimes none). New batteries should ALWAYS be manually charged before installing.
And what are you seeing that makes you think that the batteries are DEAD ??
And just for curiosity, are they connected is series (6 V) or parallel (12 V) ?
