Newbie trying to set up Megawatt for charging
Trying to figure out what all I need to set up a Megawatt for charging 2 120 amp AGM batteries. I was looking at the s-400 Megawatt,cuting one end off some cheap 4 gauge jumper cables from amazon....

Well I screwed something up or I am missing something. I got the **** thing hooked up, but when I check the voltage with a multi meter on the pos. and neg of the Megawatt I get 2 volts? Seems weird. WIth the the Megawatt on but not hooked up to the batteries, it shows 14.8 volts on my multimeter. I am confused about why I am getting two very different readings. My batteries are 6 volts in series.
When I check the voltage of the batteries, across the positive terminal on one battery and negative terminal on the other battery I get 0.02 volts, but when I check the battery individually out of the camper they show 6.2 volts. ?? I know the Megawatt is working because the fan comes on, and over time I can feel the cables from the Megawatt to the batteries get warm, also my Trimetric inside the camper shows the voltage rising, it started out dead at 10 volts and quickly when to 14.0 volts over an hour or so.
