Ok, so lets assume that this occurred when you’d just pulled in to the CG whereby you’d just discovered this:
This suggest that your battery was dead when you first arrived and know that a lead acid battery is considered dead at only 10.5 volts…
So trying to deploy your jacks without a charged battery puts the entire load on the converter, and the converter is not really adequate or designed to shoulder this extreme amperage loading…
My bet is that your jack manual likely states the necessity of having a charged state of battery in place before operating the jacks…
The fact that the INVerter was showing a green light merely implies that the CONverter was ON and attempting to do its job, though well behind the curve and not well suited to power up the jacks..
If this all sounds correct, your battery has likely been damaged (due to 10.0v extreme discharge) and is likely in need of replacement…JMO
