I think your charge voltage should be 27,3V (your system is 24V)

Personally I set the tailcurrent to 2%

Yes 2x12V serie will be 24V, but 240Ah stays 240Ah


(In paralel it would have been 12V 480Ah)

@Gman which bmv do you have 702?

on the top Picture it looks ok .


But on de bottom picture there are 2 extra minus wires and 1 Extra plus

are you drawing also 12v from the same batteries?
If so that is not good/correct way

in this case the information given by the bmv is partialy correct(only the data from the rct)
beside that it will cause an inbalance on the batteryโ€™s

can you provide a drawing how and what is connected?

Please have a look at the below pdf

My system is a 24v so my setting must be wrong on the BMV. I have the 712 with midpoint monitoring cables
