Title says it really. I have two batteries that usually show up in the dashboard but just now only one is visible. It looks like it is working although one definitely has a lower charge judging by the lights.

Probably a coincidence but my smart meter also suggests I have imported overnight more from the grid in the last 3-4 days than is usual.

So not sure if there is an issue with the battery, the connections etc., or is it just a software issue with the mobile app...

Yellow Swordfish there has been changes to the latest version of the mobile app (see separate thread) that hides the battery % breakdown. This might be what you are seeing?

Could be that. I didn't see the thread. I will hunt it down thanks

Thanks. I did just see that.
The top poster on that thread said ...'switch to a 3rd party app/Home Assistant.'
Does anyone have any suggestions for a 3rd party app? I am using IOS...

See the thread about the app by the BBC basic developer, Richard T Russell if I recall correctly.

Plus there's another app mentioned somewhere on here but I can't recall the name.

The search facility will hopefully help you find it.

Ah! That's what the reference to BBC I saw meant!
Thanks TX200

Thanks. Interesting.

Now - I am far from being that knowledgeable about inverters/batteries/ solar panels etc., but the post you pointed me to mentioned dual inverters whereas I only have one inverter with 2 batteries. Is that the same thing as was being discussed - or perhaps the question should be- will that work for me?

Yellow Swordfish Will work great with one inverter and 2 batteries. It's free, so give it a go if you can.
