Welcome to the forum Soalr_Wale!
Specifically, what AC inverter do you have (Link)?
In general, many (most?) FLA (flooded cell lead acid batteries) set (for example) a "dead" FLA battery at 10.5 volts (for a 12 volt battery). When an FLA battery gets down to that voltage--There is very little energy left in the cells, and very likely with permanently damage the cell(s) / Battery.
So, for a 10 battery bank * 12 volt would report a battery bank as "dead" at 10*10.5 volts or 105 VDC.
An 8x12 volt bank with a nominal 96 VDC would normally be reported as "dead" with a 120 VDC nominal designed AC inverter.
Checking the manual for any possible configuration adjustments could possibly allow you to reprogram to use a somewhat lower nominal battery bank.
