+ | **DVCC Requirements :** | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | Battery compatilibity | ||
+ | |||
+ | DVCC has extensively been tested on BlueNova Energy batteries and is therefore fully supported . | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | **Firmware versions :** | ||
+ | |||
+ | Do not use DVCC in cases where these requirements(Victron) 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:** | ||

+ | VE.Can MPPT Solar Chargers cannot be used: they do not yet support the new control mechanisms. | ||
+ | Lynx Ion + Shunt: v2.04 Lynx BMS: v1.09 | ||
+ | |||
+ | In case of an ESS System, the ESS Assistant needs to be version 164 or later (Released in November 2017). | ||
