Yet another Battery/Power Question

Seems like everyone is having power issues today. Lots of threads and historical threads that hit around the edge of my issue, but since my previous questions have already established me as a noob idiot, why not throw one more out there?

Due to lack of maintenance and poor charge/discharge discipline (see "noob idiot" above), I've got two stone cold dead coach batteries that wouldn't hold charge on our last outing; now won't take a charge at all. Pulling them out shortly and plan to replace with new AGM's. Now the other symptoms:


Even on shore power (15amp, 110); the use/store switch isn't giving me that comforting "click". Slide came in just fine albeit a little slowly. Even with SP, I get a low-voltage reading on automatic leveler - and jacks won't retract. Apparently not enough juice (again, even with SP) - to get the genny started to see if that helps. Doesn't even turn over.

So - are all of these symptoms related to my dead coach batteries and I'm going to be a "happy camper" after the swap, or is my issue deeper? (SP good, GCFI circuit good, no tripped relay on that little device in the coach battery bay whose name currently eludes me, the breakers and fuses "I know of" housed in the converter box seem ok)

2015 Windsport btw

Thanks,
