After charging all night the batteries are at 11.02 volts and with the generator running for the last hour is still at 11.02v .

Notes:
1- Batteries charged all night on shore power through converter very slow recovery?

2- Generator put into auto 1 hour ago and started as it should but batteries still at same 11.02 volts

3- CODE ---E02 displays between showing batter voltage and then to code then back to E02. Generator running and green light is lit up.

Questions:
1-- Does the convertor only trickle charge the batteries?
2-- Shouldn't the generator send more juice to the house batteries?
3-- What is the code represent or telling me.
4-- Any help here would be great and there is nothing powered up, the house switch was turned on before connecting to shore power and remains in the USE position

The trip with the new batteries were shown at 13.8 to 14.1 when charged and would run the residential fridge for many hours when off the grid.

Thanks Quantum
I have a 2016 WS31. I had the same issue and it was explained as this - The inverter running the residential fridge takes up more then the generator or shore power gives to the battery. So while the inverter is powering the fridge then you won’t be able to get a full charge to the battery.
