Morning guys. I am looking for the basic set up of a battery monitor.
Battery bank consists of 2x 100ah 5.12kWh Ebox batteries.
Do I add the 100ah together for the monitor?

Hi it depends what you mean by monitoring.
I'm not familiar with that brand of battery so there may be a way to connect to victron systems via RS485/Canbus which will give more detailed control/monitoring.
However if you simply want to know the state of charge of your batteries you wouldnt need that feature. You could just parallel the batteries and then connect a Victron smart shunt before the loads and that will then count the amps in and out of the battery to provide a state of charge of the batteries. (after an initial full recharge to calibrate the smart shunt)
I'm assuming based on your question that you wanted details on how to configure the RS485/Canbus features of your battery to victron systems. Sorry I'm not familiar with that process.
Additional resources still need to be added for this topic
