We are currently snowed in in Mammoth,CA and all is fine with our 50 Amp hook-up. The house batteries have showed full charge for the last 6 days BUT, last night I looked at the monitor and they were @ 12.2V and falling, and don't seem to be charging.
I have temporarily hooked up a car battery charger to them so they don't die completely.
Anyone have any suggestions as to what to check or look for?

What is the temperature outside??
The reason I ask is that I understand that the Freedom Combi Inverter/Charger operating range is 32f-104f.
While I'm not sure what brand or type of charger you have I took a guess with your Xantrex 2000 link
Or
Check the DIP switch settings on the remote control panel, you maybe able to change the settings.

Check the grounds they might be rusted or loose.

Temperature should no make any difference. I have operated the same inverter/chager down to -8 degrees. Does the panel show it is charging? Or does it have a red light? I had the same problem a few years ago and there was no indication of a problem except the batteries were not charging. I connected a 6-amp charger to keep the batteries charged until I could get to a service facility a week later. I turned out to be a defective circuit board.

Thanks all!
Now that I have some daylight and light snow I will pull the manuals and get the OEM meter out and check a few more things.

My ProSine often locks up when connected to shore power, I suspect spikes or surges. I must power it down and restart it (with a dip switch on the side) and it then reboots and begins charging. Check your manual for the location of a On-Off switch or a reset button. I can not correct the lock up condition from the remote panel.
Good luck
