DKoldman, I finally understand what you are talking about. The green light does not indicate the switch being on or off. The green light just tells you 12 volts in on the buss bar. The green light is powered by the battery and/or the converter. Being on shore power does not prevent you from turning off the battery's. A way to test this is turn on a light and leave it on. Unplug from shore power. The converter is now off. If the light is still lit, the battery is on.Turn the disconnect off and the light will go out. At this point the green light is out because both the shore power and the battery are disconnected. Being on shore power has nothing to do with you being able to turn off the battery. If the green light is on it is being powered by the converter and/or the battery. If the house light goes out the battery is disconnected. If you do not touch the switch and plug back into shore power the house light will come back on because the converter will be on.
