I have 12 EG4 Lifepower batteries and two EX6500 inverters for split phase power. I'm using two racks of 6 batteries, one supplying DC to one inverter, and the other supplying to the other one, each with their own DC disconnect and each feeding one phase to my main breaker panel. I'm wondering for communications if I need to treat them as one bank of 12 and have one longer Ethernet cable running between battery 6 and 7 from rack to rack and then one connection to the master inverter (and no bms connection to the slave inverter). Or do I address them 1 through 6 (twice) and connect the supplied black Ethernet from each bank to each communication port on each inverter.
Thanks
