After an electrical storm and being out of town I returned to find both coach and engine batteries totally dead due to a power failure at the facility. With power back on and the on board trickle charge on (shows on 3 amps charging?), I also attached a separate trickle charge to the engine batteries at a 15 amp quick charge (too fast?). I managed to blow the quick charger (now deceased), and finding the coach batteries haven't charged at all even though the power is on and they are brand new (all 8). Any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong? Can't call Newmar due to weekend. I'll call auto club tomorrow for start the engine, then turn on the generator.

The screen for inverter status has a green light blinking and it does say it's charging but doesn't seem to move off the 3 amps. Suggestions as to a remedy are most appreciated! Thanks!
