MPPT controller - voltage sensing without separate wires?

Soon to be released MPPT 3048 will have battery voltage sensing wires optional. Before they were standard. Now it is supposed to sense the battery voltage through main terminal cables, if I'm correct....

•Battery sense wires are now optional (the 2nd gen 3024 required them)

I see nothing fancy here. 3048 will just read what is available on the main feed wire. If you have a long run to the battery I think you will use the sense wire option.

This is what Morningstar does.

IMO 3048 will just use the the higher voltage number between sense terminals and output terminals.
