    Three years ago I had two Solar Pro cells installed; I started noticing the batteries not holding a charge, so about a month ago the batteries I climbed up and unplugged the cells and read zero volts with a DC voltage meter, also at this same time the green blinking lights stopped blinking, plug them back in the lights started blinking. I went down to the battery compartment disconnected the positive side and plugged in a ammeter and again read zero. I have gone back to Solar Pro asking for assistance to no avail. The batteries do not get below 12.0 VDC, but with no load on them they should charge. Does anyone have any ideas?
