Charge controller to +bus bar or direct to battery?

Beginner here, thanks for all of your help. Is it better to connect my charge controller directly to my diy lithium batteries or can I use the same 250 amp positive bus bar that my 12 vdc distribution panel and inverter are going to be connected to? All with individual fusing between bus bar and device. All negatives going to shunt for Victron 712 battery meter.

Not knowing the specifics of your set up but it's pretty common to connect the charger to the bus instead of the battery.

Great, thanks. 200 ah batteries, 50 amp controller for solar and B2B...nothing unusual.

Yep, to the busbar. That allows your BMS to be in the loop and cut off charging if something goes haywire.
