Victron Battery Alarm GX

I was thinking about installing the Victron Battery Alarm GX panel to my system but not sure if it is compatible with Lithium Batteries. Can someone tell me if it is?

I ask because in reading the online installation manual high and low settings appear to be only for lead/agm batteries.

If you are using victron batteries then the BMS unit has alarm outputs. I don't think the Victron Battery Alarm GX is going to be compatible. Even if it was ajustable the voltage on lithium batteries only drops of at the point the battery in nearly dead.


You would be better of getting a BMV-712 state of charge monitor. It has a programmable alarm contact and will give you accurate information on the actual state of charge.
