I have two EG4 6500ex inverters in parallel for 240V split phase along with 6 Lifeforce batteries. When I walk throuugh selections I see a display of "bn5 top line and "001" bottom line. Can anyone tell me what this means? I find nothing in the inverter manuals.

Furthermore, if I turn off the master battery (all dips off) and leave other batteries on, the inverters no longer show a flashing battery icon showing it sees the batteries, but the "bn5" display also goes away. Thus, it appears to be associated with the master battery. Af first I thought the battery was not charged enough but now it is fully charged and message is still there.

Show us a few pictures of your dip switch settings, comm cables and battery type selection.
 
I spoke to Signature Solar who said bn5-G01 (looks like OO1) is normal on host inverter connected to batteries. It does not appear on the slave inverter. I would assume others see this too. This is not a setting but a displayed item when press on top right function button to see various displays. For me, it shows U1, U2, U3 settings and then bn5-001 on PS1.

In another test at request of Signature Solar, I put battery comm cable on PS2 and then PS2 began to display bn5-G01.
