Odd 12000xp behavior when coming off grid-charge to Solar/Battery mode.

Latest firmware on all batteries. ceaa-0507 on 12000xp

- I have 2 12000xp in parallel and 6 eg4 wallmount indoor batteries. 

- They are operating in communication mode for state of charge.

- i have it set to charge from 20% to 60% SOC @10amp for each inverter.

SOMETIMES, not all the time, BUT SOMETIMES when finishing the AC charge cycle ( i have it set to stop charging at 60% SOC), it will swap over to PV Off-Grid mode (basically wont charge my batteries) rather than the PV+BAT Off-Grid mode. I am able to force it out of PV-Off-grid mode by hitting the "start quick charge" button in the app

This is easier to visualize with the solar assistant chart.

The end result is that I have to sit here and babysit this thing or i lose out on a bunch of PV power! please help!

I do notice that the Batt Status goes to "2". unsure of why the batteries are affected by it swapping over.

On second look, This appears to be a battery communication issue. Any ideas as to what is causing that? It appears to happen when PV is really charging big time. 

I wonder if interference or something on the CAN ethernet wires? anyone had that happen before?

Which Lithium Brand do you have set on the inverters?

Make sure you have 1, as this is the best communication protocol to use with the WallMount batteries.

The inverters are set to LITHIUM 0 (these are 12000xps, there isnt an option for eg4)

The batteries are set to EG4/Lux

@eg4eric I checked every battery. they are all dipswitched correctly 1 through 6. 

They are all on the latest, correct firmwares (thank yall for sending the required cables to update!)

Again, 99.9% of the time, the communication is perfect. Sometimes it drops out and it seems to happen when the solar energy is really pumping.
