I just installed this Inverter and it worked fine for a day. The next day the alarm was sounding and the outbound power shut off. Do these units require a constant usage of power to operate? I only have battery packs charging and it seems like it started when they were fully charged.

Your 24v battery source is too low/dead.
What are you using for batteries?

Yikes, thats only 50Ah for a 24v inverter, likely dead batteries in a day just idle consumption.

Determine what your loads are to get you through the night. (assuming you are recharging on solar?)
What are your expectations for running the inverter on the batteries?
You are at 50AH of battery capacity now, i think you will likely need to be around 200 before the system becomes useful overnight, but again it depends on the loads.

Btw , you dont need to consume power to make it work. In your case you need to consume less. The inverter will use a little bit of power just being on (idle consumption), so turn it off when not in use or overnight.
I obviously do not know what I am doing!!
So it can't always stay on? Do I just turn on as needed?
Unfortunately neither do I know what you are doing. I say that not to discourage you but to hopefully have you explain your setup more fully. For instance you have a 24vDC inverter and two 12vDC batteries (wired in series to get 24vDC). What is your method of charging the inverter batteries?

It could if you had enough storage (batteries) to power the loads and idle consumption through the night. Then when sun comes upyou recharge again before night time. Again, assuming you have adequate solar to catch up.

Photos are handy but a description is important. I see in the photos a Renogy SCC, your inverter, and the batteries. I do not know what PV you have, the settings of the Renogy for charging your batteries (is it set for Lithium?), nor much about your loads other than I see some what looks like battery packs for tools hanging on the wall beneath your inverter. It is unclear where they get power from.
One thing that bothers me is your use of red wires from the SCC on both the positive and negative SCC's battery output terminals. This can lead to not knowing if the other end of them is wired with correct polarity. They do not seemed to be wired to your batteries correctly. For series 24vDC they would need to be wired to one battery out positive and the other batteries out negative. The jumper from between battery neg/pos would have no SCC wires to it.

Charge controller indicates the batteries are parallel not series. Says batt voltage is 14?
If you follow the cables they appear to be miswired to the batteries that are wired in series.
