Battery capacity settings

In VE Configure 3, when you enable battery monitor, you need to supply your "Battery capacity" in Ah. If you have a 48V system and 4 x 200Ah batteries do you set it as 200Ah or the sum of all the batteries (800Ah) ? I have checked the manual and posts and cannot find absolute clarity on this.

Many thanks.

If all your batteries are connected in series (I guess you do), then your bank will be 200Ah. 200x48 = 9600Wh

If all the batteries are connected in parallel, then your bank would be 800Ah. 12x800 = 9600Wh.
