Where to buy
The Cerbo-S GX from Victron Energy is a GX communication centre for monitoring and controlling a Victron system. It has a dual core processor and a built-in WiFi access point for reaching it through the VictronConnect app. It offers auto start/stop control of a generator, resistive tank level and temperature inputs, a micro SD card slot for offline data storage, and integration with MFDs and NMEA 2000. It can be mounted on a DIN-Rail. Victron lists the model as end of life.
Our take
The Cerbo-S GX packs a dual core processor, a micro SD slot, resistive tank and temperature inputs and generator auto start/stop, but Victron lists it as end of life, so it is a model being phased out rather than a current one.
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.
