BMV 712 and 24V DC / 120V AC Quattro with Cerbo GX

We have a 24V DC Quattro 110-120V AC Inverter/Charger and want to be able to shut off charging from the Quattro to the non-Victron lithium batteries when the temperature drops below a certain point. The system also has a CerboGX and BMV-712 wired in. The Quattro temperature sensor is connected to the 24V battery pack and we have a second temperate sensor we can connect from the BMV-712 smart shunt to the batteries if needed.

Currently the Quattro only measures high battery temperatures as we under stand it. Is there a way to get the relay in the Quattro to disconnect Quattro battery charging if the temperature drops below a certain point?

Thank you for your help with this.

You might want to read up on DVCC .

You can enable STS and program the quattro to stop charging below 5c.

Hello, there is an BMS assistant that can switch OFF the charging of the Quattro. This uses one of the sense inputs. So you need an external Temperature sensor with a Dry Relay contact, this contact is then a "No Charge" signal for your Quattro.

Hope this helps,
Rob
