My problem is now that the green light isn't coming on.


I might offer a clue. I have a Statpower/Xantrex 10A float charger
running my battery pile. It worked perfectly for about 5 years. Then,
I accidentally reversed the polarity on a battery. It still charges,
but the end of charge light no longer comes on with any battery that I
try. I'll tear it apart and see what I blew up when I have time and
the bench is clean.

You might want to take a known good battery of similar capacity and
try charging it to see if the light comes on. If not, it's charger
repair time.
