 ====== Victron & LG Chem Resu ======

+==== Compatibility ====
-The only inverter/charger approved by LG for use with the Resu battery is the MultiPlus 48/3000/35. You are **not** able to use these in parallel or three-phase configurations.
+**NOTE - This document is now End-of-Life and for archive purposes only.**
-=== A Venus device is required (either Color Control GX (CCGX) or the VENUS GX) ===
+LG no longer supports the Resu models that were previously compatible.
-It is essential to use the CAN-bus connection of the [[venus-os:start|Venus-device]] with the LG batteries for the keep-alive signal, communication of charge and discharge limits, error codes and state of charge.

 The minimum required firmware version for the [[https://www.victronenergy.com/panel-systems-remote-monitoring/color-control|Color Control GX]] is v2.15. It is highly recommended to use the latest firmware version on all connected devices, including CCGX/VENUS GX, Inverter/Charger and MPPTs. There are regular updates to improve performance and reliability.

-To use the LG Chem Resu and Victron equipment, it is necessary to use a [[venus-os:start|Venus-device]] (eg CCGX or VenusGX). It takes care of sending the necessary canbus keep-a-live message to the LG Resu. Without it, the LG Resu will open its internal circuitbreaker after 10 minutes.

 ==== 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 LG Chem Resu BMS. Plug the side labeled Victron VE.Can into the [[venus-os:start|Venus-device]].

 Then, plug a [[https://www.victronenergy.com/accessories/ve-can-rj45-terminator|VE.Can terminator]] in the other VE.Can socket on the CCGX. Two VE.Can terminators are included with the package of the CCGX as an accessory, only one is used. Keep the other one as a spare.
