Cristec charger CAN-BUS and Scheiber IBS sensor to Victron Cerbo GX

I’m trying to replace a Scheiber system in a sailboat and install a Victron Cerbo GX. The Scheiber system has two Cristec chargers that communicate over CAN-BUS. The batteries already have Scheiber IBS sensors that communicate over LIN-BUS. Can I connect these Cortex chargers and IBS sensors with the Victron Cerbo GX?

Hi, you know that Victron is a leading producer of battery chargers. Why should they be interested in developing a communication with a competitors charger?

I dont think that tis will ever happen.

Only thing you can do is to replace them by Victron ones and sell the Cristec ones.

Best regards
