ESS efficiency: battery output larger than input?

How are the battery values calculated, here are my February data collected as an example:
OK => Consumption:1105 = Grid:346 + Battery:386 + Sun:373.
OK => Solar: 599 = to Battery:218 + Consumption:373 + Grid:7 (1 kWh missing)
OK => Grid: 425 = to Battery:78.5 - Battery:1.2 + Consumption:346

but

Battery input: 296.5 = Grid:78.5 + Solar:218
Battery output: 386
=> Where does that extra 90 kWh come from coming out of a 40 kWh capacity battery?
(90 kWh is more than 65% at the beginning and 20% at the end...).

This makes it impossible to calculate the efficiency and losses of the system.

@Christoph Reck Do you have solar panels connected to your batteries via a MPPT unit or is your solar via a solar inverter? A schematic would help with this one as there is a lot of information there.

The panels are connected via the MPPT to the battery, as seen in the diagram below.

I've 9,45 kWp east/west over a Kostal inverter AC-coupled, 2.05 kWp south over a Growatt single phase and 1,4 kWp south-facade over the SmartSolar 150/35 directly to the batteries. Below is the full schematic.

Use all 3 tabs to see the full picture. Not just the overview.

Is this what you asked for?

What more does this provide to do the simple math of battery in and out to calculate the round-trip efficiency?
