From my notes, where you see 48V mentioned, divide by 2 or 4 as your needs require. I may add more later but this should keep you busy for a day or so
As you'll see, settings are across the board depending on an individuals system and comfort level as well as their intended usage, spike current levels anticipated etc, that's why it's not as easy as just asking someone what their settings are or what they think of yours.
@Will Prowse if you are not comfortable with Tesla settings being on the site I totally am ok with that, I know the history, please feel free to delete or modify.... totally ok by me.

Jack (EVTV) suggests low voltage cutoff at 38.65 in a 2 module pack in order to keep any excess voltage dips taking them too low. From video on YouTube dated aug 22 2018, "Rasberry PI Display for Tesla model s battery modules."

For our APC6048D, HP15048D , HP18048D 48Vdc models, that is
Low Battery Cut Off: 36Vdc
Low Battery Voltage Alarm/ Charger Activation: 37Vdc
Low Battery Cut Off Recovery: 47Vdc.
High Battery Voltage Alarm/ Charger Cut Off: 48Vdc
High Battery Cut Off: 51Vdc
For our APC6024D and APC6024DT 24Vdc model, that is
Low Battery Cut Off: 18Vdc
Low Battery Voltage Alarm/ Charger Activation: 18.5Vdc
Low Battery Cut Off Recovery: 23.5Vdc.
High Battery Voltage Alarm/ Charger Cut Off: 24Vdc (24.2vdc is 85% of module capacity rating). (Never charge to full voltage of 25.2vdc (4.2vdc per cell) charge to 24.1vdc which is 0%)
High Battery Cut Off: 25.5Vdc
For Sigineer Power’s M6048D and M12048D Tesla Battery Compatible Inverter, the powerful CPU allows users to set up their own spec for Tesla modules and other lithium batteries.
The recommended spec is:
Low Battery Cut Off: 36Vdc (36-48Vdc resettable)
Solar/Battery to Utility(DC to AC) transfer voltage: 44V ( 44-51.2Vdc resettable)
Utility to Solar/Battery(AC to DC) transfer voltage: 50V( 48-58Vdc resettable)
CV/Float voltage : 48V (48-58.4V resettable)
Warning: The output of the Tesla Battery Compatible Inverter will be de-rated by about 10% when the battery voltage drops below the nominal cut off of 20V, 40V, and 80V.

From a guy who's taking a single module and putting them in a new case and selling them, this is the sticker he puts on them:
---
49v absorption
48.5 float
Max charge current 55amp from below video:
---
The MorningStar solar controllers are set for Absorption Volt = 24.1, Absorption Time = 12 Hours. This basically accomplishes that we hold the 24.1 Volt the whole day until the sun sets in the evening.
Our Magnum MS4024 is set for Absorption Volt = 24.2, Absorption Time = 4 Hours, and Float Volt = 24.0, but this charging is rarely used only when we exercise our generator.
I have MorningStar Solar Controllers that only have a regular 3 stage charger (Bulk, Absorption, and Float). The Tesla Modules should be charged with CC/CV (Constant Current/Constant Voltage). So to simulate that have I just changed the Absorption to 12 Hours. That means the sun will be gone before the controller try to do go to float.
I estimate the module to have 80% of the 5.3 kWh or 4.24 kWh. My average voltage with a straight line discharge assumption that is really close is 22.05 for my used range. Giving a 192 AH. But why use AH, it is only half of the picture and was invented by the 6 Volt Battery manufacturer to not compare apples to apples.
I have no catastrophic disconnect based on over-voltage and anything else.

I think you may be misinformed. Victron updated the Victron Connect software last month to allow the Multiplus 24/3000 and Quatro 48/5000 to lower the low voltage start up from 21.8 volts to 20.6volts in the Multiplus 24/3000. This was done for us users of the Inverter/chargers with Tesla batteries to have a wider usable voltage range. The Multiplus firmware had nothing to do with this improvement. I am sure next week's firmware update for the Multiplus will be a bonus.
I can assure you I use the Multiplus 24/3000 50-70 with my Tesla battery bank. I have my low battery shut down set at 18.6 volts and my charge set at 24.4 volts. The Multiplus will function down to 18.6 volts unless you shut it down. The Multiplus will require a minimum voltage of 20.6 volts to power on. I have my BMS to open my contactor at 19 volts as I do not want to run down to 18.6 volts. The other option is to set the low voltage shut down at 19 volts, but then the low voltage restart will be set at 21 volts. If you should not have enough voltage to restart you can plug the Multiplus into shore power or generator power or solar power to get over the 20.6 volt threshold depending how you have your system set up.
This is the limitation of the inverter at this moment, but I don't think there is any other programable inverter/charger on the market that can do any better. Basically you lose some of the Tesla battery output but the Tesla is not much useful under 20 volts anyway and 19 volts should be your limit. I am not even sure there is a basic 24 volt 3000 watt inverter on the market that does not shut down below 20 volts.
If you require a wider operations range you would have to build a 18650 battery as a 7s or stick with a LiFePo4 chemistry found in the Victron Li Ion or Battle Born Batteries.
What will you be using for your BMS? REC.com makes one compatable with the Tesla and it can communicate with the Multiplus. A less expensive option is the Electrodacus SBMS0 or SBMS40 as both of these have automation for individual cell sensing for low voltage shut down, over charge protection shut down and low temperature control of charging. As well as cell balancing.
If you are not capable of setting up this type of BMS automation, then the use of the Victron Li Ion with BMS added electronics or the Battle Born may be a better choice as the BMS engineering is already worked out for you.
