battery capacity

setting the battery capacity for the smart shunt bmv-712, my question is this, i have 6x12v 75ah batterys connected in both series and parallel, to give me 24v,i understand that i now only have 225ah, but in the manual for the bmv-712 it recommends setting the battery capacity using the 20 hour rate which in my case would be 3,75a x 3 =11,25a, would this be correct or not

the rating of 75Hr is usually at the 20hr rate

you would put 225a/hs into the BMV unit this is your totall A/h of which on a max on 50% should ever be used - for good battery life
