I really would strongly recomend that you get communication set up between the inverter and battery and then you wouldn't have these problems of incompatible settings.

I am a contributor to an open source project that enables CAN communication between a JK BMS and many inverter models.
You can find it here - https://github.com/Sleeper85/esphome-jk-bms-can

A solution like this will likely give much better control.
10x 405W JA Solar panels (4.05kWp) @ 5 degrees
3x 405W Longi panels (1.22kWp) @ 90 degrees

Solis inverter/charger
0.6kW Ripple WT
64kWh Kia E-Niro

Nice, I think the BMS can have CAN already on it if requested at the time of ordering. I bought a couple like that but haven't got round to fitting them yet so can't verify.

I use the JK PB BMS with canbus, I connect directly to the master of two Sunny Islands and the Sunny Island takes its lead from the BMS. No alarms or warnings recorded in 120 days since first connection. Other than SOC drift there are no issues, did not even top balance the cells before connection to the BMS, let the JK 2A active balancer do it thing for 8 hours and it was balanced..
