This could be a little long winded but will try to keep it as short as possible.
Away travelling all fine then Renogy 60 amp DC to DC charger stopped charging battery tried the trouble shooting Renogy recommended but there should be a red light showing but the charger is still showing a green light saying all is ok and the system seems to engage and disengage via the switch connected to the D+ wire.
I have disconnected the output cables at the battery and the multi meter is showing zero voltage so I can only assume there is some problem with the charger or so I thought.
I have a Renogy 100w portable solar panel which I then hooked up to try and top up the battery the charge controller showed all was working and 2/3 hours later the controller showed 15 Ahrs had been put into the battery or so I thought .
The Renogy Battery Monitor showed no charge had gone in to the battery so checked the Daly BMS app whilst the solar was still running and no amps going through, next thought was it the battery I also have a Victron 240v charger so I managed to get to a campsite and hook up and the 240v charger charged the battery back up to 3.6 v and 280Ah, the battery is a LifePo4 if that's any help, if anyone has any ideas what to do next I would really appreciate it as I am just managing to get by at the moment but with overcast days looming and campsites with EHU not in abundance on some of the Scottish isles trouble may loom
