Do I need a Lynx shunt with Pylontech batteries?

Hi, I'm installing pylontech batteries and ccgx color control.

Multiplus 2. 48/5000...

I have a lynx shunt, is that still worth installing and interfacing with the ccgx ? Will that clash with the pylontech bms?

Or just stick with the pyramid bms....

Thanks for any advice.... Dave...

Hi, I recommend to leave the Lynx shunt out.


it can indeed clash on the canbus when share with the Pylon, and there are more issues.

Lastly, you dont need it. Adding a shunt next to a managed battery like Pylon, even when on separate canbusses, is something we advise against.

Would that advice also apply for a SmartShunt/BMV (which uses VE.Direct to connect to the GX device)?
