Hi all, first time post and recent Alliance owner. We got our 310RL this summer and I finally had a chance to swap out the batteries to two 100Ah Battleborns (which fit perfectly in the tray, btw). I took the opportunity to also put in our Victron battery monitor. I flipped the converter over to Lithium, turned everything on, and tested the inverter just fine. But I noticed that I was getting zero charge out of the converter. It's a Progressive Dynamics converter (and separate inverter), but I don't know the exact model. Pictures attached. From other posts I assumed that I would be fine with 12v 200Ah in parallel. I still believe that to be the case, but if I have to, I'll figure out the model and call Progressive Dynamics for verification.
Before I begin to reverse all of my work to attempt to narrow down the issue, I'm hoping someone here can tell me what I did wrong, if anything. I've attached a bunch of pictures to help describe the situation. I'll also say that everything else works fine: All 12v systems, fuses are good (including the reverse polarity), inverter as I mentioned, and I'm confident that the solar charge controller will keep the batteries charged. And yes, I've read the manuals on the Alliance site and tested both the Lithium and Lead Acid settings on the converter.
(I also switched the dealer-installed (per factory instructions) Renogy solar charge controller to my Victron, and added the TPMS range extender, but I can't imagine any of those additions affecting the ability of the converter to charge the batteries.)
Thanks in advance!
