Ron,
I really am trying to help you, not insult you. In your original post, you make three different statements about battery voltage. Once 12.9, once 0.0, and once dead. It’s difficult to armchair trouble shoot without accurate data. I asked for voltage at the battery to begin the trouble shooting process.
As Joe said, if the batteries were indeed dead or 0 volts, then the inverter charger will not “think” there is a battery connected, and therefore will NOT go into charge mode. That is why it is important to know what the voltage is at the battery terminals.
If I were trouble shooting this with my own rig, the next place I would check voltage would be at the 12V input terminals on the inverters. If you have the same voltage there, it tells you that your fuses are good, your cutoff switches have continuity, and you have good connection at the terminals.
If you have over 12V at the battery then the inverter should invert and produce 120VAC power. Does it? If you have 12V at the inverter input terminals and the inverter doesn’t invert and the charger doesn’t charge, then it would lead me to suspect the inverter/charger or the control panel.
And one last mystery as a reader, when you cranked the generator and the inverter circuits came to life, did the batteries start a charge cycle?
