Hi - I have a multiplus 5000 and 2 x LG RESU Batteries connected, the power available is a little low, can I add another RESU10 battery using the second VE.Can socket. I would connect the 3rd battery direct to the inverter - would the colour controller send the right signals and would the Multiplus work with 3 RESU10
Help - looking to add another LG RESU Battery to an existing 2 x RESU 10 batteries on the Multiplus 5000 - does anyone have any experience or know how to connect an additional battery into the system - it has a color controller
Hi, I am sorry but cant help you on this one. Please contact the LG dealer for this question.
Have use used standard LAN cable between the RESU PLUS and the batteries and a modified to Victron? Or all 3 modified?
I had a single RESU10 connected to GX, working fine. Now I installed the RESU PLUS to connect two RESU10 and the DX is no longer seeign the LG batteries.
Hi @cwarhurst Two RESU13's and PLUS would be the LG supported way. Anything else will invalidate your warranty. Regardless, I anticipate the CGX can only manage one "master" BMS unless Victron supports more, but not as far as I know. Smart lithium batteries are usually daisy chained with a master connecting to the CGX. For huge banks they again connect to a central master controller. You will also not have space on the GX for the terminator and I think no keep alive signal as consequence. This is obviously untested given it is unsupported by LG and Victron.
