+====== Victron & Exide =====
+**This combination depends on Venus OS v2.90 or above, which is scheduled to be released later in 2022. Or the latest beta (see [[ccgx:beta-testing|]]).**
 The combination of Victron products with the Exide battery has been tested and certified by the R&D departments. The combination is actively supported by both companies.
 Compatible models:
-  * LIBM0480050-G01 as of firmware v1.10
+  * Sonnenschein Module Pro LIBM0480050-G01 as of firmware v1.10

 === 1.1 Compatible Victron products ===
 All 48V Multis and Quattros. And always a [[venus-os:start|GX device]] is necessary in the system, since that has the canbus port which is used for the (required!) communication between the ESS battery and the Victron system.

 ==== 3. Wiring of communication cables ====
-Use the //VE.Can to CAN-bus BMS type B Cable//, part number ASS030720018. Plug the side which is labeled Battery BMS into the Exide BMS. Plug the side labeled Victron VE.Can into the [[venus-os:start|GX device]].
+A cable for the CAN-bus connection ships with the battery. This cable has only CAN-L and CAN-H connections and no ground wire. The side of the cable with pins 7 and 8 should be plugged into the
+[[venus-os:start|GX device]], and the side with pins 1 (CAN-L) and 2 (CAN-H) goes to the battery.
 Exide batteries come with a CAN-bus terminator already installed/supplied. When assembling the battery from individual modules, remember to terminate the CAN-bus on the last module, using the supplied terminator. In most cases, this is already done in the factory.
-More information about the cable can be found in [[battery_compatibility:can-bus_bms-cable|here]].
 Without properly connecting this cable, the battery will stop charging/discharging after several minutes. Also, the battery will not show up on the display of the [[venus-os:start|GX device]].
