    They are expensive, but it was the only UL9540A testing I have seen that lists data of how the test was performed. There are other batteries that are UL9540A certified. Maybe some of those companies can provide that data too? Just for clarification UL9540A and UL9540 are too different things.

    Un-qualified?

    Expand everything in the ac2 settings to the widest range possible and see what happens, you can fine tune it if you get it to qualify. What is your charge rate set to? I'm not sure if the bonded neutral has a effect on qualifying, but it could be your problem that is why I asked.
