The Cerbo GX is a Victron communication centre for monitoring and controlling a power system. It integrates with MFDs and NMEA 2000 and runs on a dual core processor. It has inputs for resistive tank level and temperature, auto start and stop for a generator, and a micro SD card slot to store data offline. It can mount on a DIN-Rail, and a waterproof touchscreen is optional. Victron lists this part number as discontinued.
Our take
The dual core processor and the NMEA 2000 and MFD integration make the Cerbo GX a central hub for boat systems, with a waterproof touchscreen as a separate option. Note that Victron lists this part number as discontinued.
From our buying guide
BCI defines a battery management system as an electronic system that monitors a battery's condition, performance and health. Some lithium batteries have one built in and some need an external unit.
Check before you buy:
- A voltage reading means little until the battery has rested, and each maker sets its own rest and table.
- An amp-hour figure needs its rate, since BCI says rated capacity is specified at a particular discharge rate, temperature and cutoff voltage.
