I have not yet tested the batteries, but aside from that, shouldn't the jack work fine if connected to the TV?....
Was the Expedition running while you used the tongue jack? Ford trucks have an isolation relay that disconnects the TV battery from the trailer when the engine is off. This prevents the trailer from draining the TV battery. If the truck was off, then you were operating the jack on the TM battery only.
