US5000C connected directly to lynx shunt

I am planning to use Lynx Shunt and Distributor together with my Multiplus II 5000 48V system, connected to two Pylontech US5000 -batteries.

Is there any advisable thing not to do this and to put Lynx Power in there first? So instead connecting the batteries directly to the Lynx Shunt bars?

What are you using the shunt for? Pylons report their SOC to the system. The bus bar part I understand that is a good choice, it allows future expansion.

Did some googling and you are absolutely right. There is no need for it. So basically, you'd just put Power in + Distributor together?

And then from the Pylontech, I'd connect the batteries directly to Cerbo GX with the VE.Can - BMS -cable?

If you don't need all the connections, just use the distributor.

There's a mandatory special cable from Pylontech to the Cerbo. See the Victron Pylontech guide.
