Electrical issue

When I turn my battery cutoff switch on I sometimes only have one light showing instead of 4. I checked batteries fully charged. I changed cutoff switch still have issue. Sometimes if I turn cut off switch off for a minute then back on I go from one light showing to 3-4 lights on panel showing not sure what to do

OK, let's talk about standard phraseology: When addressing the status of a battery disconnect it is either OPEN which stops current flow between the house batteries and the DC buss, or SHUT which connects the batteries to the DC buss.

I assume the "lights" you are talking about are the battery status lights on your display and control panel? Realize those lights are a simple narrow range voltmeter and only accurately displays battery status if you are NOT plugged into SP or running the Generator or MH engine. Otherwise, those items are charging the house batteries (if the disconnect is shut/closed) or in the case of SP or the Generator, supplying the DC buss with the Converter.

Does this clear up your confusion or make it worse?
