I am not sure of the SOC of my batteries, since the converter didn't drop to storage mode, I assume they are charging
I don't have voltage loss from my wires. I remove the ring terminal from my batteries and use my multimeter to check voltage at the ring terminals and it reads 14.8 volts. When I connect the ring terminals to the batteries, I use the same multimeter to check voltage at the same ring terminals. The only difference is that now they are bolted to the battery terminals. The voltage reads 13.6. The voltage only drops when the wires from the converter are connected to the batteries. I am not sure if this is because the batteries aren't at 100% charge or if it indicates sulfur on the plates or some other problem.
Thanks for the help,
Fred

Are the batteries fully charged when you read this voltage difference?
If not, it is likely line loss (resistance in wires from charger to batteries). The more the amps you are pushing to the batteries, the more the line voltage drop from resistance in the wires and connections.
