#Energy Dashboard not showing battery energy bars

Hi,
I configured my energy dashboard with solar input and batteries.
Left it running for a few days but its not showing any of the bars for enegry going in or out of the batteries, although the sensors and values in the lower part are showing and changing.

Furthermore if I just add different energy cards to another dashboard then the battery energy bars are visible, just not on the main Energy Dashboard.

And the energy distribution graph is also not showing up, but that one is also not loading when I try to use that card in other dashboards.

If anything is unclear please let me know which further info is needed!
Dont mind the big solar production spike during the night, thats another problem I am also working at.

here are the energy cards when I add them to a different dashboard:

      - type: grid
        cards:
          - type: heading
            heading: New section
          - type: energy-usage-graph
          - type: energy-solar-graph
          - type: energy-distribution
        column_span: 3

Any help or ideas here?

any issues open in dev tools -> statistics?

It's likely conditioned on you having a grid sensor.

# 
    // Only include if we have a grid source.
    if (hasGrid) {
      view.cards!.push({
        title: hass.localize("ui.panel.energy.cards.energy_usage_graph_title"),
        type: "energy-usage-graph",
        collection_key: "energy_dashboard",
      });
    }
# 
    // Only include if we have a grid.
    if (hasGrid) {
      view.cards!.push({
        title: hass.localize("ui.panel.energy.cards.energy_distribution_title"),
        type: "energy-distribution",
        view_layout: { position: "sidebar" },
        collection_key: "energy_dashboard",
      });
    }

Thanks for the input and it seems you were right.
The energy dashboard NEEDS to have at least a grid consumption sensor. So I made a template sensor thats always zero. After adding that the energy dashboard shows all the cards.

Just wondering why that is a requirement?
My setup is in a camper, so I dont have a grid, only solar and battery...

And also its just the energy dashboard not showing the additional cards, but if you add them manually into some dashboard at least the usage graph works, the distribution does not
