+====== Victron & BMZ =====
 The combination of Victron products with the BMZ ESS battery has been tested and certified by the R&D departments. The combination is actively supported by both companies.
+Compatible BMZ models:
+  * ESS 7.0

   * Paralleling multiple BMZ ESS batteries to expand capacity is possible. Contact BMZ for more information.
   * Derating, based on the dynamic BMZ ESS charge- and discharge limits:
-    * Minimum CCGX version is v1.72
+    * Minimum GX device version is v1.72
     * The derating mechanism is not very precise yet. In other words, do not expect a discharge limit of 30A to result in a precise discharge of 30A.
     * Actual charge- and discharge limits are visible in the Parameters page. See screenshot below in Chapter 4.
-  * BMZ batteries and MPPT Solar Chargers with a VE.Can communication port cannot be both connected to the CCGX, because of different canbus speeds. Use Solar Chargers with a VE.Direct comm. port instead.

 ==== 2. GX device needed ====
-To use the BMZ ESS in Victron system, it is necessary to use a Color Control GX or Venus GX. On first commissioning an external power supply (Not the 48V from the BMZ-Battery) is needed. The CCGX/VGX sends a keep alive signal to the BMZ ESS via canbus. This will only be send once the canbus baud rate is changed (see 5. [[venus-os:start|GX device]] Configuration). Without it, the battery will have a communication fault and shut down after 10sec.
