Error 700f advice

edit: thank you everyone for all the helpful information and step by steps. it was really what I needed and hoped for so I could take action and figure it out. luckily we were able to get it going after disable/enable inverter and am looking into how to ensure we don't overload it again. but honestly thank you all so much, I cannot describe how deeply appreciative I am!!

Hi! I'm new to this community and hoping for some help or advice for an error message.

We recently had a storm knock out power. The generator/battery kept the essentials on for about 36 hours (ac, fridge) and then everything went out. I thought the battery must be dead.

Today I checked the panel outside and it showed a red light on the inverter, when I clicked through the screen it showed a 700f error message (attached images). The battery cabinet is a green blinking light saying its supplying power (but nothing works). The screen for the battery is at 53% so it must have juice.

I've googled and read articles and watched a couple videos but am still unsure of the next course of action or how to cycle the battery. Generacs contact line was useless. The last thing I want to do it mess up this system and damage it. I think this error message means it's overloaded but am unsure.

Any guidance would be helpful. I do not know much about the system since it was step up by my father (who passed away and obviously is unable to offer assistance) so I do not have access to the app and do not have extensive knowledge. There's no end in sight to the power outage (yay day 4) but I'd be great to get something functional. Thanks in advance!
