I have noticed every 24V System Diagram I've seen shows the SCC Battery wires going straight to the battery. IF the battery leads go to buss bars ( then to inverter ) , couldn't you just tie the SCC Battery wires in there?
 
Most Diagrams I see do not have a Smart Battery Protect. ( some that do even have a note "do not use" ) . They just always seem to have the SCC battery leads going straight to the battery. Not a buss bar.
Thanks for the warning, I better not implement that one then.

If you use bus bars (and you probably should for any non-trivial setup) then everything should be connected to the bus bars, especially if you have a shunt.

Battery positive -> battery fuse -> positive bus bar -> everything else
Battery negative -> shunt -> negative bus bar -> everything else

Most drawings are simplified and just don't show it but yes, best practice if you're taking everything to bus bars is to take the SCC to the bus bars as well.

On my camp setup I'm putting the SCC's and inverter wires on the same lug and filling the other lugs with the battery leads. 3 battery banks to 3 lugs, SCC/Inverter/buck transformer to the 4th lug.
