VE smart network currents unequal

I have 2 of 250/85A smart solar chargers and a smart battery temp sense transmitter on an 1150AH sonnenschein A600 12 V battery bank. 2 1500W solar arrays. Victron 3000VA 12 V multiplus inverter

Before creating a VE smart synchronised network the two charge controllers put out about equal currents within about 10% of each other give or take.

After creating a synchronised VEsmart network, sometimes the controllers put out almost exactly the same charge current but sometimes one or the other one puts out all of the current and the other one might only put out a few amps or nothing at all. If I turn off the arrays and put it back on again It might be the other way round.

Both controllers are showing the network symbol on the screen. Both seem to change charge mode at the same time and have the same battery temperatures received from the smart battery sense.

I did read the communication regarding VE smart network but did not really get an answer to my query

Is this a normal operation of the charge controllers while networked or am I missing something.

Thanks Joe

Do you have a GX in the system?

And does the charger switch off only when your power needs are covered or all the time? I have 3 chargers and when the loads and battery needs are covered, one or two of the chargers become inactive.
