It's been 2 hours of battery rest. Down to 12.6v. All the batteries are reading almost the same amount of voltage. Trying to figure out, if it's not the batteries what it could be. Camping world guy said that if the remote inverter/charger panel is showing they're charging then the charger should be working. (13.5-14v is what it shows) So then it would likely be the propane detector? If it was that wouldn't it be malfunctioning day and night regardless of the weather?
You can disconnect the detector by taking the panel out and in the back is a small fuse you can remove.
It sure seems like low voltage alarm from when the solar slows down as it gets dark. That means the charger in the inverter/charger is not getting to the batteries even though the charger itself is working (voltmeter proves that?).
Something wrong along the way there, needs a voltmeter to follow the path and find the "open."
BTW the original LP alarm in our trailer still works just fine (it alarmed from battery fumes while equalizing them the other day) from 2002, so don't automatically assume it needs replacing just because it is five years old.
