No charging apparent. One MPPT 100/15 "flashing battery life"

We have no charging apparent at the Digital multicontrol with the inverter light on only There are three MPPT 100/15 . Two show steady green light and fast flashing yellow ( ie power on, bulk charging) . The third shows flashing green and fast flashing yellow . Why is controller showing no charge? Volt meter shows 13 volts . What does "batterylife" mean- can't find any reference in the manual.

Hi Shelley. Your Digital Multicontrol doesn't reference your mppt's, just your 'Multi' inverter-charger.

'BatteryLife' is an algorithm relevant for the LOAD terminals of your /15's. You may find more about it in the manual under the 'Streetlight' section, but I haven't checked that. There is brief mention here under 'Load output': https://www.victronenergy.com/solar-charge-controllers/mppt7510 You could turn it off or ignore it if you're not using the LOAD output terminals of the mppt's.

Yeh, I guess we all at some stage see a need for improving our data-gathering. There are a number of ways to do this, but depends on what you need and how much you're prepared to spend.
