Victron System Integration

The battery supports native BMS CAN communications with compatible Victron GX devices. Compatible installations can use a master-to-slave communication chain for multiple batteries in parallel, followed by connection to the appropriate GX CAN port. Configure the system according to Epoch's communication and DIP-switch instructions, then enable DVCC and assign the Epoch battery as the controlling BMS and battery monitor where supported.

Installation Note

The IP67 enclosure is designed for dust protection and temporary water immersion, but correct installation remains essential. Verify battery dimensions, terminal access, cable routing, mounting, charging equipment, communication wiring, fuse protection, and system compatibility before installation.
