Mid voltage notification

Two AGM batteries wired in parallel. The monitor is connected, through port 1, to the positive battery terminal attached to the bus bar, what is causing this?

You can not have Midpoint monitoring with 2 parallel batteries. (individual cells, yes. Series batteries, yes, parallel batteries no).

Thanks, and yes I know that. That is what is so confusing. It can not have a mid point and yet it is giving this notice. The monitor is only attached to the positive terminal closest to the load center. There is nothing else attached.

Have you tried connecting via victron connect and setting the aux port to none? it may be set to midpoint.
