Inverter

Hello I have a question about an inverter I have a 2008 sports coach elite, I just replace the house batteries and I’m getting a fault signal. It also says that my new batteries are low. Do I need to charge my batteries to the fullest in order to reset the inverter?If anybody can call me at 909-238-7561 I would greatly appreciate it we are supposed to be leaving tomorrow morning and I’m trying to fix this issue. Thank you in advance

    Charge batteries up full using a charger other than the inverter (Assumes it's also a charger)

    Disconnect and re-connect (Life negative lead. Count to 10, Replace)

  • You need a meter to measure the batteries and post the voltage. Or at least do the lights work?

    Do you have a portable battery charger to put direct on the batteries? If spending money need 5 amps minimum rating. 10+ is better.
  • What inverter? Make and model? Did you hook the batteries up with the right polarity? Turn off your main inverter DC disconnect, wait a minute, and turn it back on; that will often reboot an inverter.
