Did I kill my Orion tr dc dc Charger?

I have installed a 12/24 DC DC charger to charge two AGMs. It was all working fine but it was taking hours of engine run time for them to come up to the usable 80% charge. So I attached a standard battery charger to them to get them fully charged. I diconnected the cable joining the two batteries but left the output cables form the victron attached. once the batteries were fully charged I reconnected everything started the engine but now I get no lights on and and my app says there is no device.

Did i kill my victron by not disconnecting it? I assumed there was a diode in place that would protect it.

Can you draw a schematic of how you have wired everything and you have disconnected?

I don't see why this should cause damage to the Orion. Did you check the fuses? Disconnect the Orion for a few minutes and reconnect it.

Ask your dealer/installer if that doesn't help.

So you disconnected the wire marked with blue and then connected a standard 12V charger to each battery? The standard charger isn't in the diagram, is it?

Yes I charged them seperatly because my charger is 12V not 24V.
