Have you checked the fuses on the converter, or made sure it was still plugged in, or breaker wasn't tripped? Sounds like you're only getting a charge from the solar portion of your system. If you have a volt meter you can see what's going on. On a side note, I know with the Victron battery monitor, it says to have the battery fully charged before installation to ensure it is reporting accurately, is it the same with the Renogy?

Renogy is a bit different with their "Smart" batteries. Each one has two RJ45 communication ports. They give you this dongle switch were you are suppose to plug in and click, taking the battery from "Shelf Mode" to active. On mine both batteries were already in active mode when I got them, shipped direct from Renogy. I did not see in the instructions where it mentions having them fully charged before hooking up the BT monitor. I don't yet have a way to fully charge them anyway. As for the breakers and fuse, I don't think that is the problem but will give it a look. New charge controller will be here in a few days.

I did the Ampere Time on Amazon- Again no low temp charge protection.
I have wrapped the batteries in holding tank warmers in an insulated cabinet. Here in TN we had a full week of 8 degrees the batteries stayed at no less than 55.Ex-Nihilo
