Is your battery cut off switch on so charger can charge your batteries?
Here is another battery related problem others have been having.

Read your Inverter monitor again. It says AC in, it says "Normal" and your voltage is 14 volts.
The three pictures of the battery are low, normal, and full from left to right. On my panel it is written low, normal ,and full.
Your good.
I think the white panel is for satellite, it displays elevation or azimuth.

After zooming in very closely it appears you may have the charger off. Did you get any manuals with this rv? I downloaded one that leads me to believe you don't have the buttons pressed/setup properly. Looking closely I noticed you have a "level" indicator on the left panel if you press the "test" button.
In any case I am going to attach a close match manual. Go to page 25 section 3.

Push the "charge' button, see if the LED above the word "charge" lights.

The manual I looked at shows a lighted indicator on the top left corner of the charge button and a lighted indicator on the main unit also on the top left corner, it just may be as simple as its not turned on, I also dont see your power share selected to 30 amps, http://www.xantrex.com/documents/Inv...-01_rev-2).pdf or look at this manual and determine what unit you have, The light on the control may be out or not on that model?

Glad the exact model manual is posted. That should clear things up quickly. Those smart chargers can be quite amazing and seemingly complicated.

As an update the control panel this morning showed that the batteries now have a full charge as I thought they should.
I got busy doing other projects and almost forgot to update you guys.Thanks for the help and advice.

For what it is worth.....here is how my Xantrex panel looks and everything is A-OK with my system. Your "charge" light (led) should be on (just press it) and you should also be getting a reading on your incoming AC Breaker Amps (POWER SHARE) gauge.....
Before you plug into an external AC source note the breaker size & press POWER SHARE until the the appropriate INCOMING AC BREAKER LED is ON. POWER SHARE limits the amount of external AC current used by the charger.....by selecting a lower POWER SHARE setting it will take longer for your batteries to become fully charged.
Note... Available POWER SHARE setting vary from inverter/charger model & only the settings that the charger supports will be allowed.
Hope this helps?
