Battery charging limited to 2kW
Setup is Solar plus 3.6kW Ecco Hybrid Inverter and 2 x L5.1 batteries. When I charge from the grid overnight the charge power is just above 2kW. Power on the timer is set to 3600W . As far as I can see 2kW is well below the rating of the inverter and the batteries, each one of which should be able to handle 2500W on its own without exceeding its recommended current rating of 50A. Also charge setting for batteries in software is 90A. Is there another setting I am missing?

It's clearer if you look at the settings in the actual inverter screen as they're on separate tabs. In the app/portal settings they're on the same page but you have to scroll down so easy to miss. The Charge Amps is for solar and the Grid Amps is for grid. I didn't realise they were separate at first either until I upped the Grid amps setting I couldn't charge both my 5.1kWh batteries in the 3hr off peak window like you.
