The Cerbo GX MK3 is Victron's communication centre for linking a system's devices and watching them locally or through the VRM portal. It has built-in WiFi and Bluetooth, 3 VE.Direct ports, and runs from an 8 to 70 V DC supply. On the input side there are 4 digital inputs and 4 resistive tank level inputs, with 2 relays for switching.
Our take
With 3 VE.Direct ports and a stated maximum of 25 VE.Direct devices, the Cerbo GX MK3 is built to gather a whole system's data in one place. Its 2 relays and 4 tank level inputs let it switch things and read tanks directly, though it has no cellular link.
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.
