Can't Get 6000xp to charge from grid: totally baffled

Hello All,

Here is my situation:

I am new to solar and am a bit overwhelmed.

I have a 6000xp and two Lifepower4 batts intended to power my outbuilding. My solar panels have not been installed on my outbuilding so I only have AC grid charging available to charge the batteries.

I have 120v being fed to the inverter on Grid L1.

I have the system feeding my panel and both 120v circuits are functioning.

The batts seem to be communicating with the inverter.

I have tried just about all AC charge settings including running the batteries as Lead Acid and nothing seems to work. Depending on the settings: the batteries drop below the SOC or Starting Voltage and absolutely nothing happens. BTW - the monitor shows the grid has about 120v at 60hz o its seeing the grid voltage. I am at a complete loss and getting frustrated.

Any thoughts. Perhaps there is a setting I need to set or switch on or off.

Incidentally, I also cannot get the AC to provide power to the system in bypass mode.

Any thoughts are welcome. Thanks in advance.

240v Split-Phase would be required for the 6000XP.
