SmartShunt battery bank capacity setting

I have two 12 V 100 Ah SLA batteries that will be connected in parallel (recommended by Will Prowse, https://www.mobile-solarpower.com ) to be monitored by a SmartShunt. Is it correct that I would set the SmartShunt battery capacity setting to 200 Ah? Any comments on my off-grid cabin design are welcome as this is my first solar system install.

200 correct.

Take the positive load from the left battery.

Wire the charge +ve input to there as well.

@kevgermany Thanks. The 'charge +ve' is what? the charge controller? I have a DC Fuseblock (with in-line fuse), Pure Sine Inverter (on same in-line fuse) and a Charge controller (with in-line circuit breaker), all going to the same positive terminal?

Did you find out if the smartshunt is total bank capacity or if it's usable capacity?
