Hi there, these are the communication ports available on my 150ah LiFePO4 batteries (I have 2). Is it possible to connect the batteries to my 450/100 victron MPPT or my Phoenix 5kw inverter or will I need a cerbo GX?

Communication ports on battery
Comms go through a GX but if it's an unsupported battery/bms there's no guarantee it will work.

My observation. I am new to this so take my comments with a grain of salt.
My system consists of a Victron 48 3000 MultiPlus II, a Cerbo GX, and two SOK SK48V100 batteries. From the picture it looks as though our batteries use the same BMS. My batteries have a RS485 cable between the two batteries and a special cable from the CAN port up to a Cerbo GX. The Cerbo GX has connections for multiple types of devices. There is a BMS CAN port that my battery plugs into. There is a VE-Bus for my MultiPlus to plug into. The Cerbo made connections easy.
I am still learning about my system. Without the Cerbo I would have a lot less information.
Good luck.
