In case a battery with built-in monitor is used, such as explained in (C), then that is the dedicated
battery Monitor. Refer to section (C).
Otherwise, install a BMV or Lynx Shunt VE.Can.
Configuration:
1. Configure the battery monitor as per its documentation.
2. In the CCGX, in Settings → System setup, verify the selected Battery Monitor. It should be the
BMV or Lynx Shunt Battery Monitor.
3. Finished.
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.
2.2.3 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.

In the image below you can see a range of selectable choices for the SOC values which are shown in
the main Overview screen. Choose the source you want to see on the main Overview screen of your
CCGX.
