How much should a converter put out?
Bought new batteries. Before I install them and I need to confirm which cable is pos and neg. So I plugged into 110 A/C and with a volt meter probe at cable ends. I'm getting a reading of 17.3...

Further assuming you have the polarity correct at the battery. Furthest assumption is that you have the voltages stated at the C-D points when converter is powered. Have you checked the inline circuit breaker or fuse close to the batteries? This should be in the (+) phase cable and may be near the battery or adjacent to a disconnect switch.
What is the voltage across the battery terminals?
You may also have a loose or corroded connection in the mix.
Your last sentence..." loose or corroded connection in the mix"
Final problem (I hope) 12 volt from batteries was not making it to converter with in-line relay "shortstop" was stopping flow of elec.
I learned a hole lot on this project. I basically have 2 days taking stuff apart from batterty location to converter, in order to get access, so I could trouble shoot, ect. Problem was 1 foot behind converter the whole time.
Thanks
