Smart Battery Sense Connect to a battery bank

[Tinu]

Hello Victron Users

How do I connect the Smart Battery Sense to a battery bank with 2 batteries in a parallel cross connection?

Thank you for your help.

Whats a parallel cross conection?

I guess you mean just parallel:

Connect the leads to either of the two batteries

Hallo chrigu
parallel cross connection:

A cross connection is better for batteries connected in parallel.

Thats the same as above. And i dont see a cross, but dosent matter.

If you have your batteries connected like that, then choose one to readout with the smartSense

Yes, sorry, you’re right, your image is the same, I didn’t see it clearly. Here is another image of the simple connection:

I actually wanted to connect the Smart Sense to both batteries, as the connections go away. But I don’t know if that’s the best solution, or does it not matter?
