Hi Joseph,

In a 12V battery, parallel setup, there is no midpoint to measure.

The midpoint of a serial battery string is what you are going to measure with this feature.

Regards,

Markus

Agreed.

So don't let the 2nd input go to waste... get yourself a temperature probe accessory to properly monitor your battery temperature!

And if you also have a smartsolar MPPT then you can Bluetooth pair the two & use the BMV data for charging.
