Generator/battery problems
I can't put a finger on what the problem really is so here is what I have
I have a Thor Palazzo 36.? MH diesel pusher with a QD6000 onan generator with a Magnum inverter/converter and a magnum panel that gives me the battery readout and setting the AGS along with the other battery information. When running the generator all is fine my readout says Im floating a charge at 13.4+22A I have my washer and dryer running and a light on plus my residential refrigerator and a microwave clock is set all plugins work, now if I shut off the generator as well as my dryer and washer and sit with just plugin and refrigerator running I will plummet to power failure red light on the panel will come on and it will say low battery. When I try to restart the generator I will have to start the MH wait for about 5 minutes and raise the hood to start the generator outside. So what can be wrong?
I also can't use the AGS because it would start with low battery I do have it set correctly

Agree, batteries sound very weak, if dropping that fast.
Runnning the main engine throws a surface charge in them.
Check the water, if flooded batteries ?

Hi ! Welcome to IRV2! We're sure glad you joined the gang!
I agree with others that you probably have bad batteries!
Good luck, happy trails, and God bless!
