MultiPlus and Smart NG + VE.Bus BMS no battery monitor

Q&A and troubleshooting

Has anyone experienced that the battery monitor can no longer be set?
Both the MultiPlus and automatic options are not visible or selectable.
It gives the message: “unavailable monitor, set another one.”

On the Cerbo overview, the MultiPlus is not displayed, and neither is the battery.
The MultiPlus can still be found in the device list and data is live; it can also be switched on and off.
At the bottom, the BMS is visible as well.

Configuration:

  • MultiPlus-II 24/5000/120-50 v559

  • Cerbo GX v3.71

  • VE.Bus BMS NG

  • 2x LiFePO4 Battery 25.6V / 200Ah NG 5120Wh

I have the same case on one of my system, does the VE BUS BMS replace the Smartshunt battery monitor ?

No it does not; the Lynx Smart BMS NG does, but that’s the only BMS that does.

Thank you for your response, Justin.

In the meantime, I have connected a shunt to the Cerbo GX.
