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?
