Batteries dead

Thanks for the forum and for reading this...

Search all the info here and didn’t quite answer my question.

Why aren’t my batteries charging?

A few days ago the inverter began to beep. I noticed the inverter reading low at 11. I was about to travel for a week, so I turned the inverter off and left. Came back and tried to turn the inverter on, nothing.

Put a multimeter on the leads coming into the inverter only reading 2, went to the battery box and tested also reading 2. Have been hooked to shore power the whole time. Disconnects are in proper position. The power panel indicates full charge on the batteries. I’m not an electrician so any help is appreciated.

My next move seems to be to pull the batteries and have them tested and charged (cell fluid was full) if possible, then replace and see if they run down again.

One other thing, like the inverter, the level up system does not come on at all, I’m assuming this is because the batteries are too low. What is confusing to me is the fact I am hooked to shore power. I thought they would operate off shore power, appears in wrong about that?
