Inverter refusing to use 'Utility'

Right now the moment I adjusted the setting the Axpert is beeping like crazy showing battery low, so I just went to bypass and it seems to be charging the battery. When out of bypass ie normal, I see the AC icon, but it doesn't seem to be charging.

The UPS's are small 300w items. They were there to keep air flowing so I could wheel out the generator (prior to this install), run some extension cables and start the gennie. 

Hope the pic makes sense...

Ok, after nearly an hour on the phone with Wilfred I think we found the problem. The inverter was configured to run in PAL, with HS displaying.. It's a single inverter, it should not be in parallel. 

Thanks for the call, I'll come visit with biltong to say thanks!

I really hope it resolves your issue, was strange that the batteries charged in bypass mode but not when the inverter was on and in USB mode. Really hope your issue is resolved :).

Was an absolute pleasure meeting/speaking with you over the phone.

Problem solved it seems! It's raining, there's no sun and the entire system is charging from Eskom through the night. Happiness is!
