The solution is 100% not doing the jacks manually.
You could have 4 year old batteries and they’re weak.
But if your genny can’t get the batteries topped up just fine then the converter is probably lame. If you have a wfco converter that could be the issue or wiring.
If you have 12v batteries you don’t have as much useable capacity as you might think. And if they have a few years of not being used and maintained right they can hold a charge but are likely quite reduced in capacity.
If you’re not planning on a high $ LFP battery setup, a couple 6v 200ah or better batteries is MUCH better than the old 12V Fla batteries you probably have.
If height limited in the battery compartment and can’t use traditional golf cart batteries, I had good luck with mighty max 200ah 6v. They are much shorter with flush mount terminals and were the only 6v I could fit in our Arctic Fox TC compartment.
