Battery balancer alarm to Cerbo GX hack and feature request

[rscotten (Richard)]

I have two 12v batteries wired in series for a 24v system. A Victron Battery Balancer keeps them balanced, and I wanted to connect the balancer’s alarm to my Cerbo GX. I found this post

https://communityarchive.victronenergy.com/questions/69229/battery-balancer-alarm-out-to-cerbo.html

that advises to assign the Balancer alarm to the predefined “Bilge Alarm” which is hacky and misleading to folks unfamiliar with my system that may need to respond to the alarms. Also, my system is on an RV, not a boat, so no bilge.

Can the talented folks at Victron please add another alarm option for “Battery Balancer” or allow me to create and name my own alarms? Or is there already a way to do this?

When you enable the digital input, go to device list and you can rename the device in there.

That worked. Thank you!
