Hi,
I have a 100Ah gel battery and a 3rd party inverter+charger. The system acts as a UPS, charging the battery when the mains is on and delivering power from the inverter when mains is off.
I want to add about 400 Wp worth of PV panels, 2 series + 2 parallel, connected to a Victron MPPT 100/30 so I can use solar power when available and use the BMV to switch the charger on when batteries are low (typically at night).
I've been studying the available docs and I can't figure out whether I can connect the BMV to the MPPT via the Ve.Direct port. I know I can do that via a GX device but I want to use the Bluetooth on the BMV for monitoring and leave the GX out.
Another thing I don't understand is that if both the charger AND the MPPT are outputting to the battery is there any risk to blow off the MPPT or the charger.
