Hi all, I have a small setup in my boat with 24V Smart Lithium Victron battery that is charged with Orion 12/24-15. I bought smallBMS and battery protect (100A) from Victron too. Now i am not sure how to cut of the charger correctly with BMS and battery protect.
On one diagram (in this case its MPPT as charger) it shows i need to connect Charger pin from BMS with Ve.direct non inverting remote cable so i bought that cable but now i realize i don’t have VE.Direct on Orion.

(i have circled this cable).

After searching more i found out this diagram with ORION included.

showing i need to connect Charger pin from BMS to the H-end on the remote switch on Orion.

So my question, is that second diagram correct for my scenario (the second diagram is almost like my setup but i used isolated version of Orion), and there is Orion-Tr Isolated DC-DC Charger remote cable available to buy but I think it is used without battery protect?

Do you have a Orion-Tr Smart?
The non-Smart Orion are not designed as chargers.

This is the manual for the isolated Orion:

You will need this cable:

Yes, I have Smart Orion-Tr Isolated, so without that cable, I am unable to connect BMS like in my second photo (on the photo it is non-isolated)?
