Hello, Today my Multiplus II 48/5000/70 arrives together with the Cerbo GX. The battery will be delivered later, how do I connect the CerboGX to the voltage (8-70VDC) since there is no battery yet? Thanks for the advice!

Cerbo GX power in
You shouldn't run the system without a battery.
Thanks for the answer Kevgermany.
I don't want to run it at this moment, just programm it.?
You can run the Cerbo off a 12 volt power supply -- the "wall wart" kind would be sufficient if rated 1 amp or more.
Of course any voltage in the specified range would also work.
As others have said, don't attempt to run the Multi without a battery.
Hi All,
You all say: "don't run it without battery"...
Considering the hardware design, can you kindly please explain why?...
Because, without connecting any loads, and even you do, without battery, it's just a big 48VDC power supply, with a classic transformer.
For example, APC/Schneider UPSes, with the same topology and hardware design, have a live battery exchange feature. You take the battery out and replace it live, without powering off the UPS/inverter.
If you want, I will search the patents for it and post it here. From what I remember is something around mid 1990s.
Thank you,
Alex
