Hi everyone can anyone help me I have two Hv 2600 ver.d batteries when full don't last the night no cooking or kettle used just TV for a few hours oil central heating pump a few hours and fidge and freezer going but batteries are flat in the morning but strange thing is they only take in 1.6kws to show full again I suspect they only supply the house with 1.6kws if that's all it takes to charge or do you think I have a problem with batteries?
Am totally confused as I thought I would have 5kws storage

We will need to know you typical house load to know for sure how long they would last but with 2 * HV2600 batts you have 5.12kw of which the maximum you can use is 90% (depending on your minsoc settings) i.e. 4.6kw.

Check you minsoc settings, they can be set as a minimum to 10% (this is the typical default level) but if they are higher than that you will only be able to get that capacity from the batteries.
