Hey, play videos from the contact got a question. I have a easy solar to GX to attach GX 50 Touch missing something I don’t have HDMI port and information would be helpful.

so how do i do a first initial charge without a bms? i cant just hookup a ctek charger right? do i connect to smart bms then hook up a charger to each battery one at a time or?

Thanks for the video. Glad to hear the Victron batteries are working well, along with the rest of the system. Energy independence is a wonderful thing and highly aligned with sailing, which ideally uses wind for propulsion. Another good thing to have is electric drive. This is doable with more battery and electric motors and a backup generator. This is less common now, but will be standard in the not too distant future.

respect for video,but the real challenge is to make the system work also in places where there is less sunny conditions..cause there it is absolutely not perfect 😢

Do you know why the readings from the current transformer wouldn’t show on the grid box in remote console when plugged into current sense port?

ilike that but how can i buy here in philipines

Can you see the dashboard from cerbo screen ?

Hello and barvo for the video I wanted to ask you if it is possible to install the bms from victron (16S for a packlife that I have in 48 volts? 600AH)? or do you have to have a victron battery? my batteries are EVE 280AH in 16/2P can we wire all the batteries with the bms from victron or do we need a bms compatible with the victron? otherwise is it possible if there is no can in the battery pack to tell victron (multiplus and cerbo GX) that I have a lead gel battery pack? there is no bms on the lead in general? my pack can be protected by its own BMS cutoff 2.80 volts and maximum charge at 3.65 volts Possibly just to emit more or less on the multiplus? thank you laurent

As the new owner of a 2023 Winnebago Revel, this info is very helpful.

I have 3 Mppt victron my question its if I can connect one of the Mppt using the VE Direct to USB interface to the one of the VE CAN Ports?

just got a 12v 200ah for $550 canadian...

Good video, can you make more on programming the cerbo, particularly generator stop start relay please?

I have the same setup and my 2nd Distributor (out going power side) is not recognized by the BMS. Do I need to toggle jumpers on one of the distributors? Or?

Hi great video! Can we connect nmea 2k via usb port using Actisense product? What your thoughts about

Why bothering with those ridiculous imperial units? They built it metric in the Netherlands.

Learn to code this is crap.

Quite enlightening, thanks!

This is great, thank you!

Can the Multiplus II be setup / programmed through Victron Connect via a Cerbo GX connected to the internet?

Hi Peter, on the SMART BMS CL, do you notice the orange and yellow LED lights remaining on? The red LED is not on. Is this the correct function. Lastly, don’t notice a LYNX DC distributor. It’s looks like you used a different busbar. Is this more advantageous?

This by far is one of the best Cerbo GX videos out there, thanks!

some folks have connected inverters to the HV battery to get more efficient access to the EV battery power.

I was able to capture data on a Venus OS and send it to a MQTT Broker, Thanks greatly

Very clear explanations.

And you can enable Node-Red when you have the new version and the last software!

I wealth of information, thank you for your time and knowledge. I can't believe Victron hasn't done this, I have been such a lack of product instructions from a vendor.

please don't uoload a video if the sound is that crappy...it sucks

Excellent! Thank you so much for this exciting information. I have an ongoing issue with some of my Victron SmartSolar 100/50 controllers which I am hoping can be resolved with this solution. Of the six 100/50 they regularly randomly decided to NOT wake up in the morning. Despite having a solar panel voltage above 60v, they still not charnging. The workaround would be to go into the battery configuration, disable the controller, wait until the pop-up to enable the controller appears, then enable the controller. The controller will then immediate spring back into action and start charging. It apperas to be a firmware bug which Victron has with these contollers. The other two Victron 150/100 never experience this issue. Only happens to my 100/50 conrollers. Hopefully with Code Red, I can get them to perform a self check at 6am every morning on the solar panel voltage, if this exceeds a certain theshold and the controller is still not in the charging mode, to cycle to the disable/enable action to wake up the controller.

Great batteries! The most energy dense on the market, the only thing that comes close is the 12V 330Ah from Victron as well.

Hi, I'ver a question. Can you suggest me which digital sensor I can buy for set as alarm of presence of water? I need just alarm. Thanks

thank you.. excellent and to the point

Esa idea de armarios es de los rumanos😅

Can you tell me which relay is controlled by the soft switch on the Cerbo GX GUI? It's called Relay 2 but I'm not sure which device its controlling. There are relay outs on my Cerbo, Lynx BMS, and Inverter/charger.

This review summary should be used by Victron as their Cerbo GX Quick Installation Guide.

How do you make those good looking cables? Where can I get that? The red ones connected to the BMS?

Hi,this video was very clear and helpfull to get it to work.I have tried to communicate with the cerbo from my local PC via a paho.client. I got connection but not a response based on the Topics as described in some docs. I only could get the data if I used node red by forwarding the input data through mqtt out to my local mosquitto broker. Is there a way to receive the data directly without using inbuild broker in the cerbo? Thanks in advvance for your help

Outstanding presentation, THANKS! 👍 P.S. I’ll be picking up my new Cerbo GX later this week. I am not 100% certain but think I’ll need to buy a a cable? Do I need anything extra to connect to my BMV-712?

Great explanations in bot speach and drawings, best I've seen and most appreciated!

17:00 how/where do you assign a group... mine comes up as unassigned

Thanks for the interesting video. As I do see my Multiplus on VRM but not on the Victron Connect app, as in your case, what do I have to do to see it in the app?

Best overview on the net. Well done.

Nice if you can afford it, crazy.

What is the name of the type of plugs that the Cerbo uses? I'm needing to buy a replacement and don't know what to search. Thanks!

It all sounds really interesting, unfortunately for me as a total non geek, I think I'm lacking the base knowledge to make use of it, 56 years old never did computers at school, never played computer games or really even used a computer for anything past basic form filling. Hopefully somebody will see a opportunity to offer support like website builders and set up node red functionality for reasonable cost.

A wiring diagram / how to video by you guys would be super helpful

Good info! I’m slowly figuring out the Cerbo and feel it is a vital component for an optimal system. Very powerful tool!

Good info. I’m going to do some cabinet work and rewire my system. It takes some planning to get it all to fit neat and compact.

Finally I see where the trickle charge terminals are! The manual only says it can charge a starter battery. I just ordered a Multiplus II

Thanks for this video! I'm that geek power user you mentioned at the end of the video. I have an off-grid bunkie at a marina where I keep my boat. This allows me to turn on my golf cart charger connected to a smart plug only when I have surplus energy (when the charger state = float), instead of a fixed schedule.

Victron is a great brand, but nearly $1000 for a 100ah battery is outrageous - especially when you consider they are not producing the cells, BMS, etc. Crazy expensive
