The Multiplus, SmartShunt and SmartSolar MPPT connected using VictronConnect app and exchange data trough Bluetooth network. The Cerbo GX however seems need hardwire connection to each mentioned above component with VE.Direct and/or VE.Bus cables to work. Correct? Or I missing something. Thx
Correct. Smart shunt and MPPT connect with VE-direct cables, Multiplus with the VE-bus using a UTP cable.
Thx. The installer added missing communication cables. I could see everything in VRM. Using new GUI - in console brief view it shows battery charge voltage, wattage going in, but for battery state of charge shows - - %. Did not figure out how to set a state of charge correctly yet.
Look at the smart shunt settings, plenty of topics on how to set this up. The shunt sysncronises to 100% when the battery voltage exceeds the set threshold for the set time. Also manual setup. SOC should be visible in Connect, even if it’s not sysnchronised.
I figure out and bring SOC from SmartShunt into a Brief view of new GUI 2.0 Thx
Question: I have in my system now (Airstream Interstate 2016 motorhome) Cerbo, SmartSolar, SmartShunt and 4 GC2 Battle Born (each 100ah for total 400 ah).When I drive motorhome after this new systembeen installed I noticed on VRM shown (LTE connected) 150w from “PV Charger” and at the same time negative 250w from “DC Power” for total on batteries 400w. Is it too much (too fast charging) or is it ok for lithium GC2 batteries? I guess motorhome is charging the house batteries when driving in addition to solar charging. But is 400w is too much? Do I need to limit it somewhere in settings? If yes - what settings? Thx
400W@ 12v is only 33A.
for 400Ah of battery this is no problem. Generally you can charge at 0.5 - 1C
Thx
