I have a couple more questions 
1. Should I choose LiFePO4 - Long life, or Typical for the CALB cells, or is it not important?
2. Also is there a way to set battery bank voltage for the system?
3. In Setup wizard, it has nominal capacity as 120.000, should I be changing this?
Thanks

1. Long life. Same as with Laptop cells where you dont go to 4.2V you only go to max 3.5 on LiFe.
2. If you are running the Batrium from the bank main voltage you get a sense of total voltage there. But its more accurate with the shunt when you get that one installed. You can though group strings: https://www.batrium.com/pages/understanding-the-watchmon-hardware-configuration-cellmon-settings Check Diff nominal.
3. Im not sure if thats "used" without the shunt.
Lets have Jaron fill in
