BSLBatt Victron settings for low soc.

I'm having difficulty finding an answer to my question. We are planning to connect a BSLBatt lithium bank into the VE.Can port of the Cerbo, and then link the Quattro through VE.Bus. I need guidance to set up a relay to trigger an alarm in the virtual assistant. The parameter for the alarm would be low SOC, and I need to confirm if the Quattro will have the proper SOC from the BSLBatt lithium. Thank you.

Please read the Victron/BSL setup doc and the manual for the Cerbo, it has all this information.

Batteries, also, do not connect to VECAN, there are dedicated BMS ports.

You will have to decide what is your idea of low SOC as well as well.

Low SOC (and potential shutdown) for BSL is 10%. See the set up docs they provide or Victrons guide.

Are you using conditional AC connect rather than ESS?

I think some Cerbos have 2 VE.CANs (1 for the battery) in place of a VE.CAN and a BMS.CAN. Mine has a BMS.CAN, so I use that for the battery.

Thank you for your replies. I will be setting the low SOC at 20%. I am more looking at setting up the relay. I will look into this further.
