BMV-712 100% midpoint deviation in parallel 12V

https://imgur.com/gallery/Sk5Wpkn


I have 2x 12v batteries wired in parallel. However, it seems as if all the midpoint features requires a 24v+ setup.

Does midpoint matter for a parallel setup? Can Victron add in 12v midpoint monitoring?

Hi @Zorrobyte

In a parallel battery setup there is no midpoint.

The batteries voltage in a parallel setup have to be the same.

A midpoint voltage measurement only matters in a serial battery setup (24V, 48V)
