We have a 2011 Ameri-Lite. I plugged it into the house using an adapter last week. Everything was ok. Went out today, the microwave has power at least the clock is, no lights come on, I have refrigerator on auto, when I turn on lights the refrigerator light dims, refrigerator is not cold. Any idea thank you

Battery voltage has dropped to almost nothing. Could be converter is shut off, so start there. Check output voltage of converter on 12 volt terminal strips. If it shows over 13 volts, then check at battery posts. If it doesn't show the same there, look at the connecting wires.

In my case the negative feed to the battery at the converter terminal strip was loose, preventing the battery from charging.

Battery is dead. Is it charging? Did it get hooked up backwards?
