I have a 2000 Dutchstar DP that has 480w. of solar with a magnum 3000 watt pure sine wave inverter, and 3 AGM's. My question has to do with my Xantrex Link 10, which is acting goofy. I know my batteries are fully charged but the Link 10 shows them not to be(just one flashing red bar). However if I disconnect the inline fuse momentarily and immediately hook it back up it'll read fine for a couple of days. Then slowly It'll go to 3 green bars until it's back down to the single red one. I called xantrex, they said to disconnect it for an hour so everything could reset.(huh?) That didn't work. Neither did unhooking it for 24hrs. Any thoughts...or do you think it's toast??

This PDF has resets and more info trouble section that may help you.
There is something about adjusting battery levels.
I'd also check for some wiring issue possible problem.

007, I've pretty much exhausted everything I can do. I've done the reset to factory specs. Climbed all around and through the coach tracing and checking the wiring and it still continues to do the same thing. Like right now after 2days it's got one flashing red bar indicating the battery's are dead. Which they're not. I posted this same problem a few months back and thought I'd try again hoping some fresh eyes might think of something. I guess I should just give up and get an updated model since they no longer make the Link 10. Although in the back of my mind I keep thinking I'm missing something. I just hate to give up on it.

Had a similar problem with my Link 2000 that has been installed for 4 years.

After extensive troubleshooting guided by the Xantrex guy, he said it would need to be replaced.

I can still use my meter's basic features, but would never buy another one of their meters.

How about the battery ground cables to chassis frame and ground of inverter/converter to chassis frame all clean and tight.
You say your batteries are charged but only have a red led.
Did you set your battery state of charge pages 17,19,21 on meter it says in PDF that its important to do this.

007, Actually I have 1 flashing red LED which is supposed to indicate all 3 of my AGM's are dead. I think I've reached the end of my rope and I think I'm going to trash it. By the way, yeah I did reset all the parameters of it to no avail.
