Cerbo GX on busbar or battery?

Hello again and again

What is the current (in amps) rating of the Cerbo GX? I only see volts (8-70). I currently have my Cerbo on one of four batteries which can output 50 amps. I prefer to move it to a common busbar like the many Victron drawings. The voltage would be okay as it remains the same at 48V. But the current can be 200 amps or even more in the busbar.

The current flowing across the busbar is irrelevant. The Cerbo will never pull (depending on what's connected and which screen you have) more than an amp or two - technically up to 3.15A, since that's the power supply fuse rating, but I've never seen one pull more than 2.17A.
