I think the solenoid contacts have failed even though you can hear it change state with the disconnect switch. Power from the AC to DC convertor is after the disconnect which is why everything works when you have AC power is available.
If the selling dealer is close and they have a service department give them a call and see if they will help you on this. It's not a difficult or time consuming repair. A solenoid is usually are less than $50 (it looks like a firewall mounted car starter solenoid) and labor should be less than an hour. As a newbie and not knowing your electro-mechanical skill level I am hesitant to call if a DYI Saturday afternoon project tearing into you Battery Control Center (aka BCC).
