Too much voltage?

I seem to have an issue with my Mount Hub pro not wanting to connect with a bank of AGM batteries, after they been on solar charge for an extended period. My best guess is the batteries are so "full" they're putting out just a bit more voltage than the Mount Hub Pro is comfortable with.

This theory seems confirmed by fact the MHP will happily run off a separate battery initially, then later in the night (after my laptop and various toys have been running off the battery bank for a few hours) the MHP is ok running off the battery bank power.

I don't want to have to power down and do a power swap halfway through the night though. Is there anyway to better regulate the volts and power coming off the battery bank initially? Battery bank is trickle charged by a good quality solar regular and single small solar panel.

Appreciate any thoughts from those with much more electronics nouse then I?
