Minimal output from charger

I have a Xantrex Truecharge 40+ charger feeding 2 AGM 8D house batteries while on shore power. But for some reason, the charger is stepping down to only 2-5A output even though my Xantrex Link 20 monitor says that my batteries are at -320Ah (80% spent). This is further confirmed by the monitor showing close to net-0.0 charge state even with minimal draw on the batteries (in other words, everything is off, but the batteries still aren't charging). I've been doing a lot of troubleshooting with the charger, but now I'm starting to wonder if the problem is actually the monitor. Is it possible my batteries are actually fully charged and it's just my monitor that is out of whack?
