For systems with lead batteries, DVCC offers features such as a configurable system wide charge
current limit and shared temperature sense.
As also in above example, the available features and effects of enabling DVCC depend on the type of
battery used. The effect also depends on the installed Victron components and their configuration.
For the details, carefully study below chapters to fully understand DVCC for a particular system.
To enable or disable DVCC, see Settings → System Setup in the menus.
4.2 DVCC Requirements
Battery compatilibity
For CAN-bus connected batteries, check the relevant page on the Battery Compatibility manual to see
if enabling DVCC has been tested with your battery-type and is supported. If DVCC is not mentioned
in notes relating to your battery, do not enable DVCC.
For Gel, AGM, OPzS and other lead batteries, DVCC can be used without any problem. The same is
true for Victron Energy lithium batteries with the VE.Bus BMS, the Lynx Ion + Shunt BMS or the Lynx
Ion BMS. DVCC is the preferred operating mode for Redflow ZBM2/ZCell batteries using the Redflow
CANBus BMS.
Firmware versions
Do not use DVCC in cases where these requirements are not met. In all cases we recommend to
install the latest available firmware during commissioning. Once running well, there is no need to pro-
actively update firmware without reason. In case of difficulty, the first action is to update firmware.
Required minimum firmware versions:
Multi/Quattro: 422
MultiGrid: 424
CCGX / Venus GX: v2.12
VE.Direct MPPTs: v1.29
VE.Can MPPT Solar Chargers cannot be used: they do not yet support the new control
mechanisms.
