Tom, You will use all 40 batteries in a 48V system. I am guessing they are 300AH cells, so that would be 48V nominal at 300AH.
Absorb will be set to about 66.8Vdc and Float is set to about 58.8. So make sure all of your equipment is ok at those voltages. Midnite Classic works well in this case. I can’t remember to 0% SOC Voltage, but it is lower than normal, so be sure the Samplex is ok with that.
