The Victron GX Touch 50 is a touchscreen display accessory for the Cerbo GX communication centre. The panel measures 128 mm wide, 87 mm high and 12.4 mm deep, with an 800 by 480 resolution. It comes with a 2 m cable and mounts on top of a surface or on a wall using the included hardware. The enclosure is rated IP54, a rating that applies without the connectors.

Our take

At 12.4 mm deep with a top or wall mount, the GX Touch 50 can sit on a dashboard surface without a cut-out. Its IP54 rating is given without the connectors, so the cable end is the part to keep sheltered.

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.
