PPP = Peak Power Pack
with VE.Direct Bus

When i connect a PPP to the Cerbo GX with OS v2.92 then i can see the PPP in the device list and also possible firmware upadets. Image 1

In Advanced and in the Dashboard i can't see the PPP
Will that be changed @mvader (Victron Energy) ?

Are there any changes that that can/will be added?

I ask because i support campers with mover motors and they have a lot and only Victron hardware in it.
Akkus (LiFePo4), Battery Balancer, SmartShunt, MPPT 75/15, Solar Cells and the CerboGX. Yeah and also the PPP pack (20, 30 or 40Ah) special for the mover part.

Now i can't help the customer and he must sue everytime Victrob Connect Software.
BTW: They all use the VRM

The topic is a bit older - however, is there any information on this? A combination of LiFePO or similar and a PPP as mover battery shouldn't be that unusual?

The datasheet of the Peak Power Pack specifically states that the VE.Direct port is for comms to a PC or smartphone only - PC via the VE.Direct to USB Interface, smartphone usually via the VE.Direct Bluetooth Dongle.
