I will check it again. I had to use just the red wire as it was the largest gauge I had
wzrelb pure sine wave 5000w 24v power inverte

Put black electrical tape on the wire ends to give you indication that is a negative wire.
I wasn't sure of the polarity because the manual says if 2 or more batteries are used you must jump from battery 1 negative to battery 2 positive so I connected the renogy to only the 1st battery
So Im guessing then that the positive from the Renogy should go on the terminal that has the positive cable attached coming from the inverter??
Which meant that you were just charging one battery. Follow proper setup of your Renogy after disconnecting it entirely by PV first than battery. Reconnect your wires and than connect the SCC before connecting PV.
In the image below is series hookup. Your inverter and the SCC wires will hook up to the non jumpered terminals

Ahh you are correct, that aint gonna work!
Thanks to all that have responded trying to help. So I did try doing just that and the renogy battery display started flashing so I am completely confused at this point

Also a single 200w panel with voc of 23v will never charge a 28v system
Good catch. Might explain the latest problem now that OP is having.
For what I was charging and powering I didn't think I needed 2 of them. Funny thing is I had bought 2 to begin with and returned it thinking that it was too much! I may also only be fine with 1 battery you think????

Also looks like the wanderer with display is 12v only. The 24v version doesn't have a display?
Ill go check. I'm not sure.
Your inverter is 24vDC. All your components must be sized to meet this. 1 battery of 24vDC is actually better when is LiFePO4 because two 12v ones will become imbalanced with their separate BMS's.
Your system needs a redesign. Typically you start with the loads you need powered and then you work to build your supply to meet the loads (and some more for system losses).
Ok. Well I guess I need to go battery shopping again. Thank you for the info.

Just checked . It does do both. Thank you. Now trying to figure out if I wired it correctly. I am baffled because of the 2 battery jumps together. I tried connecting the positive of the renogy to the non jumped terminal and its flashing with an error.
So even with minimal items running the battery will never charge to capacity??

At this point you are set up for a small 12v system, just wrong inverter.
That inverter is too big for what you need anyhow from the sounds of it.
Maybe a cheap 12v inverter around 1000w would suffice for charging your tool batteries. Least expensive route rather than buying another battery and solar panel
