Dead house batteries

[Captaindeb]

New to us r29 2011. Plugged into shore power, battery charger on. Just running fridge and today ( 5 days at the dock) the house batteries are dead. Engine and thrusters are fine. Why wouldn’t they be charging if shore power is to the panel and the charger is in the 1 position? Now that they are below 10.5 how can you. Manually reset the relays? Also which batteries are the bilge pumps directly wired to? Learning curve obviously. Any help would be appreciated.

Could be the charge relay for the house batteries. Also how old are the batteries they could be bad.

Brand new batteries.

Check to see if your House battery breaker was tripped. Read your battery charger menu for how to reset (they are all different). Your bilge pumps are 24/7 and should be on the House.

We think we reset the promariner charger/ inverter. Turn off urn on. Not great if bilge pumps are wired to dead batteries. Is there another breaker to reset? Where might I find it? Thanks for your advice, I appreciate it.

Yes we reset the house battery breaker.

Promariner inverter charger has a breaker on end opposite connections. Also check DC fuse and switch. Should charge house barely first. In meanwhile run engine for a couple of hours to charge with alternator. Solar should run refrigerator if there is sunlight.

Great thank you. That’s our plan. I appreciate your input!
