Eric: The generator-based charging may impose higher currents into the batteries than either PV charging or inverter consumption, triggering the problem. Melted battery terminals are not uncommon. You must have washers under your bolt heads with lead flanges. Otherwise the bolt heads sink

Eric~ On the same control box that I re-examined just today: Terminals 9 10 on the GCSM-mini need to see the generator's AC output in order for the black box to know it's time to stop cranking the starter. The wiring diagram that you sent shows those terminals but doesn't show anything connected
