I know there are two 12V batteries in series that provide 24V which is
what is being shown, but an actual 24V for new fully charged batteries
seems low to me.  Between that and the fact that there are no tenths
of a volt shown and the battery is shown as 24.0 both on AC and on
battery makes me think we are not seeing the actual battery battery
voltage but some nominal or default value.  I do not think the battery
voltage is actually being tracked.  ???

I will take a look at that.  Thanks
