I've noticed something during my annual winterization (NE Wisconsin-based) and not sure whether it is a problem. I removed the twin Trojan 6-volt batteries and brought them inside as usual, and am still connected to shore power at home. Lights work, electronic ignition for space heater works, A/C outlets work, on/off switch and ignition for (propane-side) water heater works - so far so good.

But: The monitor panel is acting odd. Checking status on any of the three water tanks, or on batteries / electric, will light the LED for a few seconds, and then the LEDs fade out and require a few minutes before I can check again. This happens repeatedly. I've gone so far as to re-install my 6V batteries to see if the panel works only on DC, and the behavior is the same.

I've read this post by John Marucci, which mentions the monitor panel as a possible indicator that the power converter may have an issue, though the symptoms he describes aren't quite the same as the above: https://johnmarucci.com/2022/01/24/five-r-pod-woes-to-avoid/

Thoughts? Any pointers will be welcomed! Thank you.

Your symptoms are different  the indicator  panel itself isnt acting right. I suggest you get a voltmeter if you don't already have one and measure the voltage out of your converter directly. See if it's normal (around 13-14V with no 12V loads on.
