Multi or Quattro.

In the same menu, verify that the option 'Use solar charger current to improve VE.Bus SOC' is3.

enabled. Note that this is not a setting - it just an indicator of an automatic process.

Note that this feature requires recent ﬁrmware versions in both the Multis or Quattros (402 minimum),

and the CCGX (v2.06 minimum).

In cases where the system includes a battery which has a built-in battery monitor and SOC calculation

- such as many of the batteries listed here - a dedicated battery monitor is not required.

Conﬁguration:

Connect the battery communications cable to the CCGX according to the instructions.1.

In the CCGX, in Settings → System setup, verify that the selected Battery Monitor is the battery.2.

Note that the Battery Monitor setting in VEConﬁgure3 is irrelevant. For systems like this, changing this

setting will have no eﬀect on the charge or any other parameters in this type of system.

(D) Other system types

When there are more chargers, or loads, connected to the battery than just the Multi or MPPT Solar

Chargers, a dedicated Battery Monitor will be required. Examples are:

House loads in Marine or Vehicle system.

PWM Solar Chargers

AC chargers, such as Skylla-is, Phoenix chargers, non Victron chargers, etc.

Alternators

DC-DC chargers

Wind turbines

Hydro turbines

Conﬁguration:

Conﬁgure all BMV parameters (see BMV documentation)1.

In the CCGX, in Settings → System setup, verify the selected Battery Monitor. It should be the2.

BMV Battery Monitor.

Note that the Battery Monitor setting in VEConﬁgure3 is irrelevant. For systems like this, changing this

setting will have no eﬀect on the charge - or any other parameters - in this type of system.

2.4.3 Notes

Note that this is all about showing an accurate state of charge to the user, rather than being

required for an eﬃcient system. The SOC percentage is not used for battery charging. It is,

however, required when a generator needs to be started and stopped automatically based on

battery SOC.

For hub-2 installations we recommend you do not add a BMV to the system as it will only

confuse the user when there are two SOCs with diﬀerent readings being displayed.
