is the convertor supposed to charge the batteries?
Our parrallux 7300 never has. Years ago we bought a tiny charger and installed it in the battery area. It was recommended by this forum. I wonder if it affects the convertor Thank all

I agree the OP has a problem
Which could be the 7300, btw 7300 series do NOT have 50watt ceramic resisters.
That converter can easily be tested and quickly be repaired if defective. Check the 120Vac input and that it outputs 13.6Vdc under a load. If under a load the voltage drops check the 25Vdc 2,700ufd cap under the heat sink and the four current sense resisters. <$5.00 in parts and at most 15 minutes you will be back in business with a nice single stage 13.6Vdc power supply. Lost count on how many of them I've repaired over the years - they make really nice 12Vdc bench supplies.
If not worried about charging your batteries from a generator in a short time the 7300 series is a good single stage converter - just keep an eye on the water level.
