Victron Settings Question

[Wyatt]

I hope this will be a very simple question I’ve read through the manual, pursued all the comments online here and I cannot find the answer so I’m posting it to you folks.

If you have the VictronConnect battery monitor, and you have two 100 amp hour batteries. Should you set the Victron battery management system to 100 A or 200 AMP?

200. It’s asking for your battery bank’s total output.

It depends, are your batteries 12V wired in parallel, or 6V wired in Series?

If they are 12V, you double the Amps
If they are 6V, you double the Volts, but the capacity (Amps) remain the same.

Thanks. That makes total sense, or else how would it know your total available AH. Thought I’d better run it up the flag pole though...

Should have been more precise. 2 x 12v. Got my answer. Thanks!

You can set Alarms for voltage/SOC to stay at greater than 50%. And a Low SOC setting for this as well.

Also, there are other settings that are not totally clear.
