Batteries not charging??

New valor with solar plus package. Is It normal for the battery display inside the rig to continue to decrease in life% and volts while plugged into 50 amp service. It does seem to charge some from solar by day(parked under trees ) Not sure what to expect out of this rig. ( rvone in Albany was zero help at demo). The photo is of the display currently plugged into shore power.

I had a similar problem when we picked up our rig. I discovered that at some point someone had connected the batteries backwards and blown the fuses that protect for this in the panel. The solar would go ahead and charge. When I tested the output of the converter it was charging but not getting to the batteries. This is how I discovered the blown fuses - 3 -. So you might look at the fuses.

Thanks . I’ll have a look. I reset it at the converter, and it charged back up in no time . But then does the same thing.
