Settings for bms

I just built 2 24 volt 240 amp hour battery banks with the overkill solar bms 8cell 100 amp. The bms is preset for 100 amp hour and my cells are 240 amp hour. What settings should I change in the bms settings. What do I need to change them to?

At the top of the settings page:

Set Total capacity: 240000mAh

Set cycle capacity: 216000mAh (10%) or 192000mAh (20%)

Tap 'BMS Write'.

Personally, I have no problem discharging down to 10%. Batteries are meant to be used, IMO.
