It is essential to use the BMS-Can (500 kbit/s) connection type of a GX device with these batteries for communication of charge and discharge limits, error codes and state of charge.

It is possible to use either the BMS-Can or VE.Can ports with this battery. Depending which one you use will require additional configuration on the batteries side, please see the documentation linked below for instructions.

The minimum supported firmware version is v3.31. It is recommended to use the latest firmware version on new installations and when trouble shooting issues.

The minimum supported firmware version for VE.Bus models is 469. Minimum supported firmware for RS models is 1.16. Updating to the latest firmware is recommended for new installations, and troubleshooting issues.

These inverter/charger units must be connected to the GX device via the VE.Bus connection port.

In grid connected systems, advanced control functions are configurable in the ESS settings on the GX device.

In off-grid systems, the control functions of the Battery Management System (BMS) are built into the latest version of the GX device.

All 48V BlueSolar and SmartSolar MPPT Chargers are compatible.

Some of our Solar Chargers feature a VE.Direct communication port, some feature a VE.Can communication port, and some feature both. Both of these types of communication ports can be used to connect the Solar charger to the GX Device. Such connection is mandatory, because it is used to regulate charge currents and voltages.

For reliable operation there are minimum numbers of batteries required for different Victron inverters. Please contact your battery supplier for these specifications.

Further details about installation and configuration is available from your battery manufacturer.
