The first program question has me baffled-

My Victron BMV 712 SMART- asks:

Battery capacity?

Is this for the first battery or for the entire three I have in parallel?

I have three Li P 100mh in parallel.

So I can justify putting in 100 or 300, which is correct?:white_check_mark:

I have also chosen mid point since I have three batteries…

You’re monitoring a 300Ah battery bank, so you enter 300.

Midpoint voltage measurement is for series configurations, as detailed in the user and installation manual, and which you do not have.

Please fully read and understand the user and installation manual prior to attempting installation.

While you’re here, please also see the “Battery Bank Wiring” section of Victron’s free book Wiring Unlimited, which will teach you the 4 -and only 4- correct ways to parallel batteries: 3. Battery bank wiring
