If you have a BMV you can use the second input to monitor your starter battery on your generator. The Cerbo GX does not measure voltage.

Is there any way to display this B2 voltage on the VRM or Cerbo with touch50 display connected ve direct to bmv-712?

Not directly I think, but you could attach a Smart battery protect to your starter battery, to measure the voltage and then enter the limit you want. The alarm output from the BP can then be wired to one of the digital ports on your Cerbo. I know that will not allow you to monitor the voltage in detail but only a set alarm threshold. I use a similar setup with a battery balancer and the alarm port connected to my Cerbo.

Would running another BMV-712 on this secondary battery hooked up VE direct to cerbo display another battery on the overview screen?
