My two 6-volt house batteries are rated at 215 AH each, and what I get from articles is that would get me a max of about 10 hours drawing 20 amps per hour. I think part of my confusion is created by reading threads where peeps are upgrading to 4 batteries, and now I'm wondering why.

SO... let's see if any other house battery draws are working... does the water pump work? How about the furnace? They are both 12V systems. If nothing works, I would say you have probably switched off the store/use switch. The inverter will still run since it is directly wired to the batteries, but the rest of the systems run through the relay. I assume the lights and other systems work when plugged in?
