Can we connect two different battery (24V & 48V) system to one venus device?

I am having two independent battery systems.

1) This is my primary battery (48V) system with Victron smart shunt + Victron solar charge controller + Victron MultiPlus. All are connected to one venus device

2) This is my secondary battery (24V) system with Victron smart shunt + Victron solar charge controller + DC to DC charger. This is not connected to any venus device.

Can I connect both systems with one venus device?

@Biswa

The shunt for SOC monitoring, yes. But not the other 24v solar. The GX becomes an active controller (not that i have tried it) so may not work as expected?

You definitely would not be able to use anything smart like ESS and DVCC with both systems connected.

Though someone on this forum might have another way.

That is not possible. The GX is dashboard is designed to monitor one inverter system.

You can have it show at the bottom like the multiplus is showing.
