OK new info – not sure if my batteries are actually discharged or if I was getting erroneous signals. I unplugged shore power. As expected fridge shut off. Plugged 7 way into truck. Now looking at LCI ground control 3.0 panel – battery status says “11.5v” – completely normal. Turned on the inverter. Fridge is running again. Inside at the “convenience center” pressing “battery” lights up no LED’s – like either battery is completely discharged or convenience center is giving me no readings. But the fresh/black/gray tank levels give me no readings either. My experience is the MaxAir ceiling exhaust fans (in kitchen and bathroom) run on battery power typically. But they will not come on.

I give up – will wait for feedback from the forums. Perhaps call Montana tomorrow. Plugging shore power back in.
