 Some of our Solar Chargers feature a VE.Direct communication port, some feature a VE.Can communication port, and some feature both. Both of these types of communication ports can be used to connect the Solar charger to the GX Device. Such connection is mandatory, because it is used to regulate charge currents and voltages.
-When planning to use the VE.Can communications port to connect the Solar Charger(s), make sure to select a GX Device that has sufficient CAN-Bus ports. The Color Control GX has only one such port, its VE.Can port, and is therefor not suitable. All other GX Devices can be used, since they have two ports. One can then be used to connect the Cegasa battery, and the other to connect the Solar Charger.

Use a GX device with two CAN-bus interfaces, eg Cerbo GX, Venus GX or Ekrano GX. One can then be used to connect the Cegasa battery, and the other to connect the Solar Charger.

 The following information is provided by Cegasa, it is reproduced here for your convenience and should always be confirmed with the latest Cegasa manuals and specifications.
-Each Cegasa eBick battery module is 13.5 kWh, approximately 280Ah at 48V (52.2V maximum).
+Each Cegasa eBick LV battery module is 13.5 kWh, approximately 280Ah at 48V (52.2V maximum). Each Cegasa eBick LV 15 battery module is 15 kWh, approximately 314Ah at 48V (52.2V maximum).
 The allowable charge and discharge rates are managed automatically by the Cegasa BMS and [[venus-os:start|GX device]]. Temperature effects on charge rates should be considered in the design stage in hot and cold climates.
