OK - I ran the RV for 30 minutes. The batteries are 4 of 4 on the panel and 13V with the multimeter. That tells me that the alternator will charge the house batteries!


I turned off the RV and left it plugged into the 120V 20A shore power. I will check tomorrow to see if the batteries remain charged.



If they don't remain charged, I know that they're bad because they won't hold a charge. If they remain charged, I'm thinking that the converter is toast.


I'm still uncertain as to why the batteries died in the first place? Could the low reading be because of the water I added and the converter is still the culprit?



Thoughts?
