Cerbo GX and Battery Balancer

Does Cerbo GX supports Battery Balancer ?


If so, which communication protocol/port (ve.bus, ve.can,...) is it used?


thanks

I have wired the alarm output of my Balancers to my Venus's digital inputs. The alarm triggers an error log message saying which Balancer is in error and turns off my MPPT chargers via the alarm relay for the length of the error.

Battery balancers aren't smart devices, they don't have a comms bus.

@Martin Birrell How did you configure the GX on the inputs menu to do this? Thanks
