I keep my C30 on land/trailer.
To charge the batteries on the trailer in storage, I have a 2500watt portable generator.
I've used it several times to charge the batteries.
However, last week, I started the generator and turned the knob to shore power and it pulled too much power and stopped my generator.
I pull started my generator to get it running again, but now the battery charger does not charge my batteries.
The gen shows no trouble lights. The C30 AC panel shows 120volts, the outlets work.
The Kise 2000watt inverter remote monitor panel shows Bulk charging, and no error codes like nothing is wrong.
The inverter appears to be running and charging but my batteries show only 12.5 volts. Usually when charging, they go to 14.5 or so.
I've quadruple checked all inverter settings on the remote display.
There is a 20amp push button breaker on the top of the inverter. It is about flush, not popped up. I've also pressed the button.
My generator also runs hard when charging and it is basically idling so no power is being pulled from it.
I've checked the large round fuse to the inverter 12v cable, and just about all circuit breakers I can find.
Any suggestions? The inverter fans are not running either.
 
I checked all the wiring I could. Decided to replace the inverter with a xantrex Freedom XC pro 3000. It was a simple install. Now it charges at up to 150 amps, works with lithium (upgrade later), and fits in the same spot.
All is working fine. I guess my Kiese just stopped working.
