BQ40Z50 - Setting the Design Voltage and Design Capacity for LiPo battery

I am trying to configure a bq40z50 for first-time use and am slowly making my way through both the reference manual and application notes trying to slowly configure the chip correctly.

I want to use the chip with a 450mAh, 3-cell, LiPo battery (chemistry LiFePO4 as far as I know). I have updated the chemistry from the database and am now configuring the Gas Gauging settings. For the Design Voltage, do I use the nominal voltage for the LiPo (11.1V) of the fully charged voltage of 12.6V (each cell fully charged is 4.2V)?

I am using Battery Management Studio (bqStudio) for the configuration.

Thanks for the help.
