Hey Vector, you are not using the converter. The battery is on its own. If you don't have solar or another means to charge batts, it will use its resource.

If you are on shore power. And the battery is working with converter in a somewhat discharged state, a normal battery reading is 13.6 volts. As battery charges and converter stabilizes I would expect to see 13.1 volts and held there. 12.6 is like no converter action and a battery reading in use. How are you hooked up to power?

Am having an issue with power on DC side of trailer
Batteries are topped off (12.6) When I use the pump the lights blink.
Feels like the batteries are very weak...Fusses look good...Could this be a converter issue? Has anyone had this problem? When charging the 4 red lights showing full are on after a 4 hour charge only 2 lights are on.
Any help would be appreciated
