Connect two banks with different voltages 12V and 48V to the Victron Venus and have them both on the VRM monitoring screen.

Hi,

I have a boat with two battery banks, 48V for propulsion with a Victron BMS-712 and a 12V for services with a SmartShunt. I also have smart solar and an inverter that goes to the 48V bank. I want to know if its possible to have everything in the same dashboard. As I read in this forum, the system only expect one battery, is there any other more complicated option to have both batteries in the dashboard? Ex. raspi, grafana, etc.

I have a very similar setup and haven't got this working either.

  • 48 V battery & Multiplus for electric propulsion.
  • 12 V battery & smart solar mppt for "houeshold" electricity.


Is there a way to tell Venus OS and the VRM portal that these are two different systems?
