It’s a progressive dynamics 4560. I have not run the batteries dead yet and it’s only been a few days. I was getting 17 amps to the batteries when they were showing 53% full.

I do know if I started turning items on in the motorhome that used battery power, the amps going to charge the batteries would drop a little.
do you have other 12V things running in the rv while you're doing this?
The 60amp output is shared between everything being powered. so, if you have 20 amps of other things takin g power only 40 will be available for charging. Also, what voltage are you seeing with the amps going to the batteries? If you are seeing 13.0V then 50% is the most you will ever get the batteries to charge to.

No, nothing else was running. In fact I even turned the battery switch off and found that the converter is still charging the battery with the batter switch off.
