EasySolar-II GX

With the Easy Solar-ll GX, can you plug in a shunt and a GX Touch 70?

Can the battery charging from the mains be set to optimise cheap electricity tariffs?

You will be better off with separate components. The EasySolar won't run the touch screen, so you need a Cerbo plus screen.

Thanks. Will Cerbo plug in easily to the Easy Solar-ll GX?

No. Victron does not allow 2 GX controls in a single system. You have to open the case and disconnect the internal GX card. As there is mains voltage and big capacitors inside it is a technician job.

With hindsight after going this way I should have gone for separate units. I.e. Multiplus II without GX, MPPT, Cerbo etc. The EasySolar II GX is a really good, relatively compact neat unit. But the display is limited and to get the best out of it you use VRM instead of the touch displays. VRM needs an internet connection, this has limitations in some mobile installations where you enter areas with no signal.
