RR,
Something you need to do is locate your converter/charger and the paper work (documentation) that should have come with it. Then come back and tell us about it.
Yes, all of the posted numbers say you have a problem, but how much of a problem remains to be seen.
I have a very old coach, and I leave it plugged into the 50 as long as it is in range. I have a good system and I have zero problems.

At 13.3 volts I would stay plugged in with the battery switch on.
Down to 8.85 may have already damaged the batteries some with loss of capacity.
Damage to batteries was from old trickle chargers set at 13.8 volts combined with poor maintenance of the water levels. Does not apply in your situation.

A mistake most people make is determining how quickly batteries charge and discharge. People think if you put a battery on a charger it should be charged up within an hour. This is false. Depending on the level of discharge, it might take several hours or even overnight to charge it fully. Also, a partially charged battery will discharge much faster than a fully charged battery. So, if you put it on the charger for an hour and then attempt to use it, it will discharge again very quickly.
From your description, it sounds like your genset issue is directly related to your battery problem. One thing that you said that is questionable is that your genset is under warranty. Do you have an extended warranty, is your rig new what? If your rig is new then why did you replace your batteries? Generally, batteries will start their charging around 15VDC and then that will drop slowly as the battery reaches it's full capacity. AGMS are different than wets also, so your on board charger needs to be told they're AGMS....Dennis
