Inverter problem

I have 2 - 2000W inverters factory installed on my 2011 Fleetwood Providence. Recently I had repairs done to one at the Fleetwood service center in Indiana. Since I arrived here in FL, my electricity usage has gone up dramatically all of a sudden (Doubled), without us using any additional appliances or a/c units. Batteries and inverters appear to be producing properly. Any suggestions?
I did change one of the 6 - 6v batteries recently because of a neg. post problem. The other batteries were new Apr. 1/15. The battery connected to the new one was quite low before I replaced the other. This low battery has charged up somewhat to ~12.5v. The other batteries are all about 13-13.25v, including the new one. The battery was replaced about 10 days ago, should the one which was low be charged up by now?
  • i wonder if he took out a bad 6v, and then wired that pair parallel instead of series, that would make (2) 6's wired parallel to one 12v series pair
    bad news, if that is the case
    time to replace both of those batteries
  • OR, the new battery was install backwards(Wrong Polarity) and got pushed to zero and recharged backwards.
