Progressive Dynamics Wizard Pendant
I just installed the Progressive Dynamics 9260C converter. It comes with the Wizard Pendant that is suppose to show the state of charge by flashing at certain intervals. The install went fine but...

I just got off the phone with BestCoverter and their theory is there can be no load on the system for 30 to 40 hours like a light and maybe even a parasitic load like 4 watts for the Wizard to go into storage mode.
I guess Will see over time it it ever reaches storage mode.
Which is exactly what I told you.
Remove the fuses for the "parasitic" (AKA phantom) loads and wait two days. Then see what has happened.
Storage means storage of the entire RV and it is possible that the phantom loads you are measuring and the fact that your batteries most likely are not fully charged (topped off) because you are relying on a measuring device what you arbitrarily must setup the "100%charge" setting.
You can verify the state of charge on FLAs by checking the specific gravity of the electrolyte and then adjust/reset your charge monitor in order to synchronize your battery charge monitor to the reality of where the batteries are charge wise.
It can take days if not weeks to get the last 1% of the charge into the batteries to top them off..
