Charge controllers
I'm a fulltimer and my 2017 5er is almost always hooked up to shore power. I have 2 12v batteries. I 'believe' one is strictly for the inverter circuit (residential frig and possibly WH). The other ba...

HappyKayakers,
Perhaps try using a volt meter on the output of the converter?
Which converter do you have?
I have a WFCO converter and I've checked the output a few times.
Here's the results from today.
1430 House batt on charger all night, fully charged. Disconnected charger.
Both batteries reading 13.1
Turned on converter. SBC turned green.
Meter reading at red/black wires leaving converter 13.06
1650 Both batteries at 12.58. Converter at 12.52. SBC still green.
A little while later the SBC turned yellow (low voltage disconnect) and I turned off the converter and reconnected the charger to the house battery. Tomorrow morning I'll connect the charger to the converter output (with converter still off) and see what happens. If everything works well at that point I'll start looking for a new converter.
13.06V from converter and later down to 12.52V..
Its dead.
Converter voltage on WFCO should be in one of three "states".
Float (storage)= 13.2V
Absorption = 13.6V
Bulk = 14.4V
Yours isn't in any of those output stages..
Time for a new converter..
