I Am using ESS in an off grid system with hybrid batteries.
I only discharge till 50% Soc with Victron Quattro
My question is, while configuring the ESS, should I define the Absolute or the Useable Capacity?
Thank you

In ESS system, Which battery capacity should be used Absolute or useable?
Use absolute and then work down to 50% (or whatever) of the absolute.
If you use usable then if your "SOC" reads zero, you'll have no idea if you have gone below zero or not. If it did go below zero, you won't know how far below zero you have gone.
I meant it is only used for dispaly.
I am asking becuase withh ESS, the Low battery led flashes when I start a load regalrdless of the SOC

It would be great to get your insight on this. Thank you
Yes, Using the absolute would be my advise, just as WKirby explained.
