Let it do its thing for a few days, then disconnect the shore power (or converter), let the batteries rest for 30 minutes or more, and then check the voltage at the InCommand panel.

I did the test suggested by Carl…
Unplugged from shore power this morning
Checked InCommand voltage 2 hrs later - 12.4 volts
Checked InCommand at 6 hrs - 12.4 volts
Maybe it’s not totally gone to battery heaven yet. I bought these batteries from Sams about a year ago (1-23-2022) and they have an 18 month warranty…so I suppose I will get a minimal amount in trade from Sams - but they rarely have group 27 AGMs in stock. I really don’t want to go back to lead acid marine batteries but they do have Duracell Group 27s in stock for $99.
Looking for recommendations for other brands of AGMs
Never have considered 6 volt batteries - are they all the same? Will 2 x 6 volts = same as two 12 volt? I need some schooling’.
Update on the Cummins Onan P4500i. I found some videos on the choke motor coming unplugged. Took my case off and mine was plugged in. I charged the battery and it did fire up and run, but it surged really bad. Performed the easy low speed carb jet clean but it still surged. I dropped it off at the Cummins Service Center in Austin this morning so they can get it running right.
