I just checked the battery monitor and it said the batteries were at 100% they were receiving a .53 of a amp charge at 13.6 volts with a 6 watt load.
At the same time the Wizard Pendant was flashing in Normal mode.
It's been about 35 hours since I installed the converter and the trailer has been plugged into shore power during that time.
13.6V at .53A is 7.2W, 6W is going to your "load" and 1.2W is going to your batteries which covers self discharge.
That 6W load may be enough to prevent the Charge Wizard from dropping to storage mode (13.2V).
I would suggest removing all loads then try again.
6W load may be "phantom" loads from the stereo memory, fridge control board, water heater control board (DSI), propane detector and if equipped propane shut of solenoid controlled by propane detector.
My RV has no stereo, no fridge with electronic control board and has a manual pilot light water heater.. My PD pendant has no issue dropping to storage mode and the pair of 6V GC batteries use less than 20 oz of water per yr..
