The Victron Digital Multi Control 200/200A GX is a remote panel for a Multi or Quattro. It lets you check and change the AC input currents and switch the unit on and off from a distance. It works with every Multi and Quattro, including stand-alone, parallel and 2-3 phase setups. In most cases an RJ45 cable between the panel and the system is the only connection step, with no extra setup work.

Our take

The RJ45 connection is the whole hookup for this panel in most cases, so there is little extra setup to plan around. It also covers stand-alone, parallel and 2-3 phase Multi or Quattro systems from the same panel.

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.
